Made a dumb website so I wouldn't ever have to Google "tm symbol" again.

@cato Hello! I'm super curious what you are using the ¤ (currency sign, U+00A4) for! I'm a typeface designer and I always include this glyph in my typefaces, but I've also read that it isn't used much these days. So I'd LOVE to hear how it is currently being used to make sure we design it to work well for contemporary use cases. TYSM!

@cjtype hey, kinda have to disappoint you there, but I use it basically just for an occasional inside joke between a friend and I which is kimda hard to explain ^^''

@cato ah I see! thank you for the response : )

it's definitely one of the glyphs that we include because it's part of a pre-unicode standard and there's a slot for it. but it really might not be used for anything besides your inside jokes and maybe ascii art/kaomoji

According to wikipedia "the symbol is used as a non-printing 'end of cell' marker for tables in Microsoft Word".

@arti @cjtype that's actually where I first encountered it!

@cjtype @cato A friend is always using it instead of € because it’s right next to it on their keyboard layout and they like it better. So they use it just as they would €: „I paid 50¤ for that.“
