I cannot find the peso sign in my charmap, using any font.
I hit the alt sign and input alt 8369 and instead of the ₱ I get this symbol ▒
I have changed the settings in my language and region setting without making any difference, when I type alt 156 I get the correct £ character showing as it should, I have also tried some other characters and they seem to be correct (alt 0169 gives me ©)
Does anyone know just WTF is happening???
Oh BTW I just reinstalled Windows 11 using the reset option as the Windows store stopped working correctly (couldn't fix it) and it stopped me from running Flight Simulator. This seems to be a regular occurrence with Windows and seems to be getting worse with each new iteration!

I just removed rebooted then reinstalled the (English) Philippines language pack then rebooted but alt 8369 still shows ▒ so I'm lost, I haven't looked at the charmap this time, but I know it's going to be exactly the same with the peso sign missing(I set it the first entry and set everything to point to this as the first option).
Still messed up completely!

Thanks, it's showed up this time, I tried that a while ago but nothing now I have U20B1 as it should be
:thumbsup:
If I open notepad and then alt 8369 it types ₱ correctly, but if I type it in the search bar here then the original character that I reported, but I figure that must be character set it's using? When I tried on notepad++ it shows an incorrect char also.
If I type alt 156 in the search bar I have open on the Firefox browser I get a £ char, as I should, if I type alt 8369 I get ▒ again, the wrong char, any idea what's causing that?
