On my US WinXP setup, the character map (for Times New Roman) shows the "cent" sign as having ANSI numeric value 162, so you should be able to use Alt with the NumPad: Alt+0162 (¢) should "type" it in most Windows programs as I just did inside the "()."

You should also be able to type it into a "Reply to Thread" box as ¢ and get ¢.

Note that the cent (0162) is right next to the pound (0163) = ¢ and £.

Either of those two should work on any "Western European" regionalized computer.

What you see on your browser depends on your machine setup and your browser, so when you use funny characters that work just dandy on your machine you have no guarantee that everyone who reads your post will see the same thing you do.
