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?

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.

From what I remember yes, it's a placeholder for currency
