> >>How are those without a US keyboard supposed to type this? I assume you mean "with" a US keyboard? US keyboards don't have ¥. You can use " zip " if you want ASCII. Otherwise, it depends. But Yen is Unicode codepoint U+00A5 = 165 decimal, so you can type it in Windows as ALT + numpad 0165 even without any international keyboard layout. If you use vim, then you can use control-V (control-Q on Windows) 1 6 5 (or u 0 0 a 5), or the Ye digraph (control-K Y e, or, if you have the digraph option set, Y<backspace>e).
