I have recently been researching the Irish Fenians, when I came across this gem:
"British government appealing to the Sultan of Turkey to reduce his donation from o10,000 to o1,000 in order not to embarrass Queen Victoria who had only pledged o1,000 to relief."
Now thats great and everything, but makes me wonder....what form of currency is this?
Does the "o" even represent a monetary character? Or was it just placed there to look nice?
I need help soon please, this is for school.

Sounds like a typo OR you don't have the character in the font set you're viewing the page with.

Queen Victoria only dealt in pounds sterling, so it is a typo on the website.
