The Cruzeiro sign ⟨₢⟩ is a typographical abbreviation or ligature consisting of a capital Latin letter ⟨C⟩ with a nested lower-case letter ⟨r⟩, connected in a single glyph. This glyph occasionally replaced the ⟨Cr⟩ part of the currency symbol for the first Brazilian cruzeiro, created in 1942, whose official symbol was "Cr $" (two separate letters, a space, and a single-stroke dollar sign). It could also have been used for other Brazilian currencies called "cruzeiro" that were official in 1942–1986 and 1990–1993. Some typewriters and cash registers produced for the Brazilian market had ⟨₢⟩ keys, and it was available in some typefaces.

Brazilian Currency
There have been nine different units of Brazilian currency in sequence over the country's history: the Portuguese and first Brazilian real (plural réis); 3 different types of cruzeiros; the cruzado; the novo cruzado; the cruzeiro real, and since 1994, the second incarnation of the Brazilian real (plural reais), with the symbol R$ and the ISO 4217, ISO code BRL. Historical currencies While Portuguese settlers used Réis coins from Portugal, Dutch Brazil, Dutch settlers occupying Northeastern Brazil used Dutch guilder, guilders. In 1645, the colony faced an economic crisis and, with a lack of financial support from the mainland and the need to pay for trops fighting Portuguese settlers, the local Dutch administration struck the first ever coins in Brazilian land, repurpusing gold coming from the Dutch Guinea. A few years later, in 1654, in an increasingly worse situation, coins were again minted to pay off debt, but this time with silver from the administrators' own coffer ...

Brazilian Cruzeiro (1942–1967)
The (first) cruzeiro (Cr$ or C$) was the official currency of Brazil from 1942 to 1967. It replaced the old Brazilian real (old), real (pl. ''réis''), which had been in use since colonial times, at the rate of Rs $1,000 = Cr$1. It was in turn replaced by the Brazilian cruzeiro novo, cruzeiro novo, at the rate of Cr$1,000 = NCr$1. The name cruzeiro was later reused for two other currencies, which were official in Brazilian cruzeiro (1967–1986), 1970–1986 (initially denominated as the ''cruzeiro novo'' to avoid confusion between new and old currency) and Brazilian cruzeiro (1990–1993), 1990–1993. The cruzeiro was divided into 100 centavos, a convention that persisted through all subsequent Brazilian currencies, but in the first cruzeiro, values below Cr$0.10 were never issued because coins of less than Rs 100 had not been issued since 1935. The original plan, dating from the late 1920s, was to introduce a cruzeiro worth Rs 10$000 (ten Brazilian real ( ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dollar Sign
The dollar sign, also known as the peso sign, is a currency symbol consisting of a Letter case, capital crossed with one or two vertical strokes ( or depending on typeface), used to indicate the unit of various currency, currencies around the world, including most currencies denominated "dollar" or "peso". The explicitly double-barred sign is called cifrão in the Portuguese language. The sign is also used in several compound currency symbols, such as the Brazilian real (R$) and the United States dollar (US$): in local use, the nationality prefix is usually omitted. In countries that have other currency symbols, the US dollar is often assumed and the "US" prefix omitted. The one- and two-stroke versions are often considered mere stylistic (typeface) variants, although in some places and epochs one of them may have been specifically assigned, by law or custom, to a specific currency. The Unicode computer encoding standard defines a single code for both. In most English l ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Portuguese Keyboard Layout
There are a large number of QWERTY keyboard layouts used for languages written in the Latin script. Many of these keyboards include some additional symbols of other languages, but there also exist layouts that were designed with the goal to be usable for multiple languages (see Multilingual variants). This list gives general descriptions of QWERTY keyboard variants along with details specific to certain operating systems, with emphasis on Microsoft Windows. Specific language variants English Canada English-speaking Canadians have traditionally used the same keyboard layout as in the United States, unless they are in a position where they have to write French on a regular basis. French-speaking Canadians respectively have favoured the Canadian French (CFR) and the Canadian French ACNOR (CFA) keyboard layouts (see below). United Kingdom The United Kingdom and IrelandAll common operating systems offering a different layout for Ireland actually offer a clone of the UK ...
