Dollar Sign
The dollar sign covers the US dollar and many other dollar and peso currencies. It sits on a standard keyboard, but its code point is handy for encoding and regex. $ is the dollar sign, assigned to Unicode code point U+0024. Because it is a real text character rather than an image, it survives copy and paste into documents, chat apps, spreadsheets and source code.
