It's on wikipedia so it must be real.
The alt codes do not work on my keyboard by default though, I get Gòí for 437 and Gòó 438... hmm.

InterSteller Kredits reads ISK, and the "Z" symbol is literally pronounced ISK, just like $ is pronounced dollar or "L" as pound, or "Y" as yen. Yeah I dont have the fancy shmancy keyboard shortcuts either.
Learn your lore LULU!!! Back to the NPE with you!!
Have you heard anything I've said?
You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?
That's right.

The wallet has it in its icon, but I think you answered your question yourself: One tends to get into all sorts of encoding troubles with weird symbols like that. And even if not, nobody would type ¦¦ anyway. And in bookkeeping and business communication, it's common practice to type USD instead of $, EUR instead of Gé¼, JPY instead of -Ñ, probably for the same reasons. |

It appears in game but I've never seen it written like ¦¦1,000,000 (google translate for my worldly friends ¦¦1.000.000)
Would that even be correct? lol

mostly because I'm way too lazy to look up how to do the symbol and typing isk is easy.

Would that even be correct? lol Yes it would be correct written this way. Or just like 1,000,000USD it would be 1,000,000,000ISK.

I could write that in my checkbook, and it would bounce like a MWD speeding Rifter off of an asteroid. |

While its possible to map this symbol to a key with additional program, its easier to just write ISK for everybody, like you would write USD.

Why do we say ISK? Well, I wouldn't even know how to pronounce ¦¦. :P
Also I always found it funny that it was deemed necessary to include that first line here. That's what you get for creating a virtual community with more members than your home country. |

Icelandic kr+¦na doesn't have a symbol. They just use "kr'".
EvE Interstellar Kredits (ISK) are by definition ¦¦. |

Perhaps ¦¦ is a symbol for a number of currencies in the way that $ is. |

It's so much easier to just say ISK instead of InterStellar Kredits.

Because we make ISK with RISK
And saying Z is problematic, some people say ZEE some people say ZED, and then there's the Danish.
Then it's the whole JIF versus GIF thing again.
