The char ?\x21B5 is not valid in Emacs, see:

   (char-valid-p ?\x21B5)
   ==> nil

Yes, it uses dollar-sign (second option, that is, the second vector)
because ?\x21B5 is not a valid char for Emacs.

I've just experimented these characters:

   ?\x8AC => ¬    (negation)
   ?\x8AF => ¯    ("overscore")
   ?\x8B0 => °    (grade)
   ?\x8FE => þ   

All of them are cool.  Well, ?\x8B6 (¶ - pilcrow) is also cool. :-)

The character ?\x8AF seems to be lighter than the other characters.
