When to use it

A hundredth of a dollar and of several other currencies, written after the number: 99¢.

In HTML, CSS and JavaScript

<p>&cent;</p>           <!-- or the character itself in a UTF-8 page -->

.note::before { content: "\00A2"; }

const s = "\u00A2";

In a page saved as UTF-8 (the default today) you can paste the character directly; the entity is only needed when it must survive a non-UTF-8 system. Encode or decode whole texts with the HTML Entity Encoder.

  • Mac: Option + 4 (US keyboard layout).
  • Linux: Ctrl + Shift + U, then A2 and Enter.
