I don't think the glyph shown in the Unicode charts (a cursive "Δρ") was very common, at least in recent years (that is, I've only seen it in those charts!). The usual abbreviation for drachmas is "Δρχ" or "δρχ". Two other signs I've seen on price stickers and similar places are "ΔΡ" rotated 90° counterclockwise, or a "Δ" over a "Ρ" in a column like this: Δ Ρ These signs were sized to take the same space as digits. -- Αλέξανδρος Διαμαντίδης * [EMAIL PROTECTED]
