The Cent Sign symbol (¢) is one of the currency symbols characters in the AllSymbols catalog. It comes from the Unicode Currency Symbols block (U+20A0–U+20CF) or, for older signs, from Latin-1 Supplement. New currency signs are added to the standard as central banks introduce them; longer-established signs are universally supported.
Use the symbol when your audience clearly recognizes it. Use the three-letter ISO 4217 code when the symbol is shared between currencies (the dollar sign, for example) or when readers may not recognize the symbol. For mixed-audience writing, combine them once: £25 (GBP).
In Unicode, Cent Sign sits at code point U+00A2. Web pages reference it with the HTML numeric entity ¢; CSS rules reference it as a quoted hex escape (the four-digit code prefixed with a backslash); in JavaScript and most modern source-code contexts you can either paste the literal character or use a Unicode escape with the same hex digits.
Symbol placement is a locale convention. English typically prefixes (£25); French and German typically suffix with a thin space (25 €). When writing for the open web, follow your audience’s convention rather than imposing one.
If Cent Sign isn’t quite what you need, the Currency Symbols page lists every related character on the site — including Dollar Sign and Shekel Sign. The related-symbols grid below also surfaces the closest sibling characters.
Hold Alt and type 155 on the numeric keypad. You can also copy ¢ straight from this page — it pastes into any app.
Press Option+4.
The cent sign symbol is Unicode code point U+00A2. In HTML, use ¢ or the numeric reference ¢.
