Please help... I am unable to find the "cents" symbol on my Galaxy S6, Model # SM-G920W8.  I've tried the "hold down the $ key" but that doesn't work with this phone.  Acquiring this symbol can make my dealing with prices much easier.

Thanks.

Thank you all for your replies... As my phone is so old, it doesn't have some of the options that the newer models have, such as "Keyboard settings, Text Shortcuts, etc."  Thanks again!

@WdB54 That is a 9 year old phone so not sure if any suggestions here will work. But when on the keyboard look for a key like "!#1" in lower left. Click on it and it will switch to keys with symbols on them. You will find the $ sign there.

Oops. I saw the $ and my brain went with that.

Here's a trick. Copy the Ā¢ symbol. Go to your keyboard settings, then text shortcut, then text shortcut, then add "cent." For the expanded phrase, paste the Ā¢ symbol. Now, when you type "cent," it'll automatically change to Ā¢ unless you press the checkmark to cancel autocorrect.

and don't add the quotations lol

Could you please explain where is, and/or how to access the "keyboard settings" and what you mean by typing "...then text shortcut, then text shortcut, then add "cent." For the expanded phrase, paste the Ā¢ symbol."

I have tried everything, and the cent symbol is no longer there.

Not many things are less than $, I guess is why it was removed!

yeah it's gone
just copy & paste it into a text shortcut in your samsung keyboard settings
