Funny thing this ¤, which seems to be a reptile.
Looking at my keyboard, I wonder if SysRq belongs to the same species? 

And by the way: $ - I never earned that money...

Emne: Re: [AccessD] OT: What is ¤?

Hi Stuart and all who responded.

That explains in full what it is, but still not how or if it is used. I
cannot recall a single case where I have seen it applied.
It looks like it's a carry-over from the early mainframe days - with no
practical use today.
