About the cent sign symbol
The cent sign is a typographic symbol used to represent one hundredth of a monetary unit, usually one hundredth of a dollar. It is written after the numerical amount, as in 50¢, and appears in pricing, financial documents, and casual notation in countries where the dollar is the base currency.
Within the Latin 1 Supplement block, this character serves as the standard encoding for the cent symbol in digital text. It is distinct from the similar-looking c with stroke (¢) used in some African languages, though the two are often confused in fonts.
