replies: text: actually, franc is not comparable. It is about the denomination, not about a specific franc. For specific francs, see French franc, CFA franc, etc. (see my vote below) Ingrid 19:01, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Regardless of what the Unicode table says, Brazil has never used the symbol "₢" for this currency. There's no document from the Brazilian Central Bank and the Casa da Moeda that support the use of this symbol. The correct representation of the currency is "Cr$"! zanderredux 12:24, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: thumb|rightMicrosoft seems to think it is the symbol. There are other references it to it on the web, as well. --Primetime 04:12, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've never seen this symbol used anywhere, either. I can't understand why Microsoft would include it in their character map. Alr 00:12, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have seen that symbol in old texts, but always together with a dollar sign (with one ot two strokes).  See the section #The cruzeiro symbol below. Jorge Stolfi (talk) 01:29, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

message: The symbol "₢" was indeed used in Brazil.  A "₢" key was available on  some typewriters (upper right, next to the "$") and probably in some metal font sets.  However, the 1942 law that created the new currency specifies that amounts should be preceded by "Cr $", with a dollar sign.  Since that HTML is a transcription it is possible (but unlikely) that the symbol in the original printed text was "Cr", "₢", or "₢$".  But it was hardly if ever written just "Cr" or "₢", without the dollar sign.  See for example this cover and this stamp.  (Popular usage often drops parts of symbols, but hardly adds them.)
