Common cents - not as common as it should be… <g>


It's an old keyboard. Here are a few more that are good to have on hand:

£, ƒ (now a collector's item since France switched to the €), and ¥,

± is handy for mechanical specifications,

× and ÷ work for some arithmetic expressions,

Ø is needed for region ten amateur radio call signs (WBØYEF is mine),

© is for copyright notices,

° serves dual purposes for angles and temperatures,

and § and ¶ are used to reference sectioned documents.
