Browsing thro my printed version of UNicode 4.0 I discovered the follwing annotations to U+00A4 (The currency sign):

Ricardi-Sonne is probably misspelled (should be Ricardo-Sonne, alluding to the famous economist David Ricardo). The name is not in wide use anyway. Even "Sputnik" is better known...
