This symbol is very important to me, it means Chinese money, RMB or CNY. I use it everyday on OOCalc. How do I enter this symbol?
The old way is to keep it in tomboy (a memo application) and copy & paste it to OOCalc when I need it.
Windows (Chinese version) has a special feature to enter this symbol easily.
Other symbols I don't know how to enter in Linux are: 1. 、 2. 《》
These symbols are very frequently used Chinese punctuations. They are all available in Windows as 'software keyboard' that when enabled, each key is replaced by a Chinese punctuation. Thanks to this interesting feature, currently no Chinese keyboard actually implement these punctuations as separate key.
P.S. I tried to look for them in char-map but is not able to find them easily. The way I keep using is google-for-it-and-copy&paste.
P.S. Use UTF-8 charset if you cannot see my example punctuations correctly. If your font doesn't include these punctuations, try use GNU Unifont or check the screenshot I made and attached to this email. Is there not an online resource hat could be used to find out what all
