M o n e t a r y S y m b o l s

The default monetary symbols are the U.S. dollar and cents. The ASCII characters $ (24 hex) and ^ (5E hex) represent the dollar and cent symbols.

If you change your printer settings to use international pricing symbols, these characters will then represent the new symbols. For monetary selections that don’t have a cent equivalent, the ^ character is changed to a space.

In EBCDIC-based systems a ^ is not available. Use ~94 to print a cent sign.
