Does anyone ever use the generic currency symbol ¤?
It's intended to be used followed by a value that is currency, with context hopefully explaining which currency. It is perhaps most useful for currencies that have no dedicated character.
In Norway most people use [value]kr (kr = KRoner or crowns). You also see [value]NOK (NOrwegian Kroner).
I prefer ¤ because it is shorter, simpler and if it is ambigious I add 🇳🇴 on the end, e.g ¤100🇳🇴 (this is the same number of characters as 100NOK anyway.)
