Subject: RE: When is a character a currency sign?
Hello Tex,
> When is a character properly called a currency sign?
If a character is used EXCLUSIVELY for the purpose of
expressing a currency, it is a currency symbol. If not,
it is not a currency symbol. U+5186 is a han character
which have the meaning of the Yen currency as well as its
original meaning "round". It can be used in a sentence that
has nothing to do with money. So it is not a currency symbol.
