ASCII Character $
DollarThe dollar sign, also known as peso sign, is a symbol consisting of a capital "S" crossed with one or two vertical strokes ($), used to indicate the unit of various currencies around the world, including most currencies denominated "peso" and "dollar". Because of its use in early American computer applications such as business accounting, the dollar sign is almost universally present in computer character sets, and thus has been appropriated for many purposes unrelated to money in programming languages and command languages. The dollar sign "$" has Unicode code point U+0024 (inherited from ASCII via Latin-1).
