Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

To put the shoe on the other foot:
First time I see someone use this symbol for its intended purpose lol
What is the intended purpose? At first I thought it was a number placeholder, but then we use x for that (OP even used an x).
Edit: Is it a currency placeholder?
From what I remember yes, it's a placeholder for currency
Indeed it is! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currency_sign_(generic)
Edit: Does anyone know the correct way to escape brackets in URLs on here? I cannot seem to get it to behave.
First time I ever heard what that symbol was for! Nice to know
