Description Rodolfo Quesada 2014-09-24 01:56:43 UTC
Problem description: 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Right click on a cell, select "Format Cell"
2. In "Category" select currency. 
3. Under "Format" a combo box to select the currency will appear. 
4. Search for "CRC ¢ Spanish (Costa Rica)"

Current behavior:
The symbol currently used for this currency is ¢ (cent in other currencies), whereas the official one, which is already reserved in Unicode as U+20A1 and rendered as ₡ (Two slanted bars crossing a capital 'C')., isn't used.  

The current format code is: 
[$¢-140A] #,##0.00;[RED]-[$¢-140A] #,##0.00

Expected behavior:

Just substituting the cent symbol for the colon symbol:

The description should be: "CRC ₡ Spanish (Costa Rica)"

The correct format code should be: 
[$₡-140A] #,##0.00;[RED]-[$₡-140A] #,##0.00
