In CSS pseudo-elements use content: '\A4';. In JavaScript and TypeScript the escape '\u00A4' evaluates to ¤. In Python source, write '\u00A4'.

The character encodes to C2 A4 as UTF-8 bytes and 00A4 as UTF-16 code units. Its decimal codepoint is 164.

This is a text-based Unicode character. It will render in the current font on most platforms. If a font lacks this glyph, the browser may show a placeholder or fall back to a system font.
