Re: No cents symbol!!!
There isn't one on a standard desktop keyboard either. Its usage is frowned upon. The proper way to write it is $0.87, not 87¢. Too many people confuse the usage of the old cent symbol, writing things like .87¢ (one 87th of a cent) or $0.99¢.
I am now telling the computer exactly what it can do.

On the desktop keyboard <option> <4> produces the cent symbol.

But that means it requires a Mac-specific key combo to produce it! Thankfully Mac OS X special character key combos are super easy. What is it on a PC keyboard?

Re: No cents symbol!!!
In MS Office products the cent symbol is produded with <control><forward-slash><c>. In all Windows applications the cent symbol can be produced by holding down <alt> and typing "155". Holding down the <alt> key and typing the ASCII key code (on the numberic keypad) in Windows will generate that character. That method of producing special characters also works in Linux, and UNIX, and I imagine it could be used in MacOS X terminal applications as well.

Re: No cents symbol!!!
There IS a cent symbol on the iPhone (and so it must be on the iPod too). Tap and hold the Dollar sign an there it is.

Re: No cents symbol!!!
Sure the windows way is easier but only if you are running windows. But on my iPhone I tried pressing and holding $ and got $ so what do you do?
Re: No cents symbol!!!
I was making a joke. Option-3 produces the cents symbol on a Mac - much quicker than Winblows.
I don't think there is a cents symbol on the iOS devices, sorry.

To theHalo: I don't have a cents symbol on my iPhone using the hold-dollar sign trick. I'm on 3.13.

Re: No cents symbol!!!
If you hold the dollar sign down it's the first option. It will be preselected and blue.
