Might be worth adding that on Macs ¥ can be typed by Option-Y —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.205.251.2 (talk) 08:43, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The whole Computing section is confusing. In particular, the part talking about Alt codes is excessively verbose: it just needs the actual codes plus a link to Alt code, not a description of the whole procedure. Furthermore:-

• 157 is the OEM alt-code (as opposed to the ANSI alt-code) and OEM alt-codes are region-specific; for example, Alt+157 produces the symbol on US systems (which use OEM code page 437), while Western European machines (which use CP850) should use the Alt+190 instead, and machines that use other CPs may have different codes still.

In any case bias towards Windows operating systems should be avoided. These characters can be produced on any modern operating system. Some operating systems do not use Windows Codepages at all. My version of Debian for example is set up to use UTF-8 encoding.203.56.127.1 (talk) 21:04, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• In addition to that, 02213 is just 165+2048. You can get the same result with 04263 (165+4096) and 08357 (165+8192) etc. Due to the way the encoding works, it only looks at the lowest 8 bits of whatever value it gets, so 02213 being a code for ¥ is more a side-effect of the system expecting an 8-bit value than anything else, and that's a topic for another article, not for ¥.

In what sense are 元 and 円 the same character? In Japanese, 元 Chinese yuan and 円 Japanese yen. They're two different characters with distinct and non-overlapping meanings. (The third character 圓 appears not to be used in Japanese, according to WWWJDIC.) I believe a Chinese reader may have been generalising, but I'm not going to fix this myself because I don't know how to phrase this in a way that's accurate for both character sets.--62.58.152.52 (talk) 11:02, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
