[8983( works for me on Windows7 64-bit with Pd 0.51.1. It doesn't work with Debian 9.5 32-bit with 0.49.
I don't know why but I need it to work on my Linux machines and not on Windows. 164 looks better than the dollar sign. I might use that as well. I went through them all and couldn't decide so far . . .
