Day 87/100: The Euro Sign (€). The currency sign used for the euro, the official currency of the Eurozone in the European Union (EU). The design was presented to the public by the European Commission on 12 December 1996. The international three-letter code for the euro is EUR. Inspiration for the € symbol itself came from the Greek epsilon (ϵ) – a reference to the cradle of European civilization – and the first letter of the word Europe, crossed by two parallel lines to ‘certify’ the stability of the euro.

Day 93/100: The Return (Key). I wasn't totally sure about including this one as it's not strictly punctuation as we know it, but like the 'space', it's essential to electronic communications. And I quite like it's aesthetic... The "return" key is often referred to as the "enter" key, and they usually perform identical functions; however in some particular applications (mainly page layout, word processing and in typewriting), "return" operates specifically like the carriage return key from which it originates. It normally has an arrow pointing down and left (⏎ or ↵), which is the symbol for carriage return.

Day 73/100: The Basis Point. Wondering if I'm going a little 'off' point with this project now but I need all potential #punctuationmarks I can find, spanning all disciplines. It's the creative habit that's important isn't it? 🎨😉🎨 Here goes: A basis point (often denoted as bp, and pronounced as "bip" or "beep") is one hundredth of a percent. Basis points refer to a common unit of measure for interest rates and other percentages in finance. One basis point is equal to 1/100th of 1%, or 0.01% (0.0001), and is used to denote the percentage change in a financial instrument. Figures are commonly quoted in basis points in finance, especially in fixed income markets. The basis point is commonly used for calculating changes in interest rates, equity indexes and the yield of a fixed-income security. It is common for bonds and loans to be quoted in basis point terms.
