| Description | The Unicode character $, or U+0024, is known as the "Dollar Sign". It is part of the "Basic Latin" block and falls under the "Currency Symbol" category in the Unicode standard. The dollar sign is used primarily to denote the currency of several countries, most notably the United States, but also others such as Canada, Australia, and Singapore among others. The symbol is placed before the amount, e.g., $10 means ten dollars. The precise origins of the symbol are uncertain, but it is commonly thought to derive from the Spanish peso symbol of the 18th century. Despite being primarily a symbol for currency, it also has uses in other fields such as programming where it often denotes variables or string identifiers. |
