    The currency sign (¤) is the character used when the symbol for a particular currency is unavailable. It is particularly common in place of the symbols for the Colón () and Rupee (), these being absent from most character sets and/or fonts.

    It is represented in Unicode as CURRENCY SIGN (U+00A4). In HTML, the character entity reference ¤ or numeric character reference &
      164; may be used.

    The currency sign used to be a part of the Mac OS Roman character set, but the symbol at that code point was changed to the euro (€) in Mac OS 8.5.

    The symbol is available on some keybords layouts, for example Swedish keyboard.
