Tuesday, April 25, 2006 Weird posted at 9:02 AM Reuters has two versions of the same story, as they often do. One is entitled "China faces storm in a D-cup as bust sizes grow", and the other is "Tempest in a D-cup as bust sizes grow". I'm still not sure why they have two different versions, but that's not what interested me today. This is: File photo: REUTERS/Claro Cortes IV Apparently the "romanized" symbol for currency is the same in Japan and China. I did not know that. However, the Chinese symbol is 元, and the Japanese is 円. I wonder if any other countries use the ￥ symbol for their currency. Comments I know the Chinese currency is called the yuan. So, it sort of makes sense to use the same Romanized symbols, I guess. However, I don't remember seeing this symbol when I was in China. One would THINK that the similarity would strike me.
