I need to test for the cents currency symbol in my JavaScript program.<br>
<br>
I have a variable with this value:<br>
<br>
¢40.36<br>
<br>
In my program I do this:<br>
<br>
ax = (a[0][0] == '¢');<br>
<br>
When my program run ax is False. But from the console it evaluates to True:<br>
<br>
>>> a[0]<br>
"¢40.36"<br>
>>> ax<br>
false<br>
>>> a[0][0] == '¢'<br>
true<br>
>>> ax = (a[0][0] == '¢')<br>
true<br>
>>> ax<br>
true<br>
<br>
Can anyone explain this odd inconsistency and tell me how I can test<br>
for the cents character?<br>
