Dollar symbol
Type :dollar: · Currency
What $ is for
The dollar sign, on every keyboard and serving dozens of currencies, which is why serious documents write USD, CAD or AUD next to the amount. Also a working character in shells, spreadsheets and several programming languages.
How to type $
The shortcuts below are the built-in routes. With

installed you can skip all of them and type

is the same on every platform.

No Alt code. In Word, type 0024 then press Alt +
X. Elsewhere use the emoji panel with Win + Period, or Character Map.
