U+00A2 "¢" Cent Sign Unicode Character

U+00A2 "¢" Cent Sign is a typographic symbol used to represent one one hundredth of a dollar or other decimal currency, most commonly the United States cent. Its design typically consists of a lowercase letter 'c' crossed by a single vertical or diagonal stroke, distinguishing it from the ordinary letter 'c'. Originating from the Latin word for hundred, "centum," the cent sign has been a standard symbol in financial contexts, though its practical usage has declined in many regions with the rise of digital payments and the rounding of prices.
