U+0024 Dollar Sign
U+0024 was added in Unicode version 1.1 in 1993. It belongs to the block Basic Latin in the Basic Multilingual Plane.
This character is a Currency Symbol and is commonly used, that is, in no specific script. The character is also known as milréis and escudo.
The glyph is not a composition. Its East Asian Width is narrow. In bidirectional text it is written as end of a European number, e.g., a currency symbol, from left to right. When changing direction it is not mirrored. U+0024 prohibits a line break after it, if it is followed by a number. The glyph can be confused with one other glyph.
The CLDR project calls this character “dollar” for use in screen reading software. It assigns these additional labels, e.g. for search in emoji pickers: money, peso, USD.
The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:
The dollar sign, also known as the peso sign, is a currency symbol consisting of a capital ⟨S⟩ crossed with one or two vertical strokes ($ or depending on typeface), used to indicate the unit of various currencies around the world, including most currencies denominated "dollar" or "peso". The explicitly double-barred sign is called cifrão in the Portuguese language.
The sign is also used in several compound currency symbols, such as the Brazilian real (R$), the Nicaraguan córdoba (C$) and the United States dollar (US$): in local use, the nationality prefix is usually omitted. In countries that have other currency symbols, the US dollar is often assumed and the "US" prefix omitted.
The one- and two-stroke versions are often considered mere stylistic (typeface) variants, although in some places and epochs one of them may have been specifically assigned, by law or custom, to a specific currency. The Unicode computer encoding standard defines a single code for both.
In most English-speaking countries that use that symbol, it is placed to the left of the amount specified, e.g. "$1", read as "one dollar".
