Talk:Cifrão

message: [Oppose.] I don't think this article should be merged with the one about the escudo, since the cifrão isn't just the symbol of that currency. Cifrão is usually part of the official abbreviation of Brazilian currencies as well. We abbreviate the real as R$, cruzeiro real was CR$, some versions of the cruzeiro didn't use the "CR" ligature but were written just Cr$ instead. (Whenever I write $, I mean the cifrão, not the dollar sign). Amorim Parga 189.33.13.5 23:14, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: [Support.] But it's the same sign. You press the same key, the same thing appears on your screen: $. Just because people have associations with it does not make it a different sign. I still think it should be merged with the Dollar sign article. SergioGeorgini 23:52, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Of course it's not the same sign. Back when we used the cifrão, we'd use it for escudos and the dollar sign for dollars if we happened to mention both in the same text. The cifrão has always had two vertical strokes. The only reason why it is not a big deal (for us) that there isn't a cifrão sign available is that we switched to the euro.85.240.126.158 (talk) 15:35, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Merger with Escudo

message: Where did you got the "cifrano" from? Not from the Portuguese language, I'm sure - and doing a search yielded absolutely nothing, so I'm intrigued - it still must've come from somewhere, necessarily. 85.138.77.5 (talk) 04:36, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. Something is wrong here. The recorded pronunciation does not match the spelling 
and the written pronunciation guide, unless I am mistaken (which is very possible).--Filll (talk | wpc) 20:47, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: "Cifrano"??

message: Can someone with a Mac check whether these fonts actually have two separate dollar signs? If the article is simply listing fonts which employ an old double-bar dollar sign, it has nothing to do with Mac support and the article should be edited to include a list of fonts common to Windows or Macs that can be used to display a cifrao. — LlywelynII 21:06, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Mac OS X "support"

message: The Portuguese article lists the cifrao as being employed by Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Suriname, and Uruguay. Is this verifiable? — LlywelynII 21:08, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

message: Currently, the header has a picture of a Portuguese coin. The cifrao symbol is not even clear. There are plenty pictures on wiki commons that are more accurate and representative of the topic of this wiki:

Personaly i think the,     http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cifr%C3%A3o_symbol.svg    is most suitable. Agree? 90.193.233.49 (talk) 08:34, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
