I would presume that was the old deprecated cents sign which was apparently
deprecated within the US during the late 1990's.

Below is all that is needed for standard accounting:

DEC OCT HEX BINARY Symbol
36 044 24 00100100 $
37 045 25 00100101 %
42 052 2A 00101010 *
61 075 3D 00111101 =

I also had fun recently converting many music files names into standard ASCII
characters.

I have respect for Internationalization, up until a point where somebody from
another country demands a file be named with odd characters (ie. accented
letters, backwards 'e' characters, ...) on my local hard drive or media files.
Which usually then forces me to somehow type the file name if I'm on the
console, or while not using a click and play graphical interface. Or forcing
people to use regular expressions for simply specifying a file name.
