"Cent" symbol

Hi I adore this newsgroup even though I'm clueless about how you create
your art. I love how you all diddle with each others work and how you
all openly appreciate each others efforts, and encourage, teach, and
tease. The fact that your tools are so limited makes it that much more
impressive.  Here's my question: I was typing a memo for my job and
realized I don't have a "cent" sign on my keyboard (how could I have
lived all these years and never noticed that before?) and I was
wondering if there is a code for creating one.  I mean, I know how to
make a tongue sticking out using alt-0222 on my number keypad,   �   but
I don't know if there is a code like that for the little c with a line
through it that I call a cent sign.  Thank you in advance anyone who
helps me, and wow I'm impressed! to all of you.  :)

Kindof off-topic, but flattery gets you everywhere... The Alt code is
0162... �

Well, ascii codes past 127 are a bit odd. Depending on the character
set, you get different stuff. 222, for me, is a little block on the
right side of the screen.

Given that, here's two extended ascii codes that may or may not work.
155, this is what works for me. 189 is a possibility too.

If all else fails, start at 128 and go to 255, holding down alt and
typing in the number (Like you did for ascii code 222). Not only will
you (Hopefully) find your cent sign, you'll also find some other
goodies.

Note, however, that in posting to usenet and sending emails, it's not
a good idea to use extended ascii characters, or in fact any
characters that you can't just type in with the keyboard, because many
different operating systems will show them differently.
