It's a generic currency symbol (the X11 keysym is XK_currency). It doesn't exist on a UK keyboard (where Shift-4 is the dollar sign). In any case, using non-ASCII characters gives rise to encoding issues (e.g. you have to be able to edit UTF-8 files). -- Glynn Clements <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
