Monetary Symbols
The default monetary symbols are the U.S. dollar and cents. The
ASCII characters $ (24 hex) and ^ (5E hex) represent the dollar
and cent symbols.
If you change your printer settings to use international pricing
symbols, these characters will then represent the new symbols.
For monetary selections that don’t have a cent equivalent, the ^
character is changed to a space.
In EBCDIC-based systems a ^ is not
available. Use ~94 to print a cent sign.
