More like Old Way was 5¢ and current way is $0.05

Another curious fact about our computers is if anyone has ever tried to sort a bunch of names alphabetically. You are fine until you get to a name like "McDonald". English language puts the Mc's at the beginning of the M's, but that is not how it comes out with a computer. They are at the end of the M's.

Does anyone know why? It's has to do with the teletype. Anybody old enough to know what a teletype was?

Not old enough to remember that myself, but I have heard the terminology before :confused:

Hee Hee. I'm seeing printed recipes taking on a whole new look from now on.

But remember such symbols ONLY work if the recipient has the same font set, otherwise the symbols may not come out the same. Fortunately most of the symbols in the 0128 to 0255 are standardized. The Euro (€) I think is the only exception. But for your printed document the universe is at your door step, especially with many symbol fonts.
