You can still use characters no longer on the keyboard...
Here's How:
Click the Start Button, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, then select Character Map.
You'll be presented with a screen that has lots of different symbols. When you click (and hold) a symbol, it gives you an enlarged preview of it.
To actually select the symbol:
1. Click the symbol you want.
2. Click the Select button, then the Copy button.
This will copy your symbol onto the clipboard where you can then paste it into any word processing program.
I hope this helps you. :0)

Because there was not enough of a use for them. It is more proper to type $0.50 than to type 50 (and then the cent symbol).
Depending on what program you are using, you can insert the cent symbol in the insert menu. Then "characters" or "symbol".

Because nobody needed it and there was no room for it but if you buy an older keyboard they might still have it on them
