How to make a new currency symbol

[ss]

Turkey has just issued a new symbol for its currency which currently
doesnt exist on keyboards. I need to convert some spreadsheets to
incorporate the new symbol, they previously used TL (turkish lira) for
their currency. Is this possible?

The new symbol is like a t with a double cross.

I see you also posted the same question at PCreview, any other postings?

Microsoft released a Turkish currency symbol convertor tool back in 2004.
Maybe they will do the same again.

In the meantime WindowsXP has a Private Character Editor utility that allows you to create your own
custom characters.
Start | Run | eudcedit
Maybe the operating system you use has the same feature?
Private Character Editor has a steep learning curve and it has been several years since I created a
custom character; so I can't provide any help for it.

Perhaps you can make a satisfactory character even with Windows 7, which
also has a Private Character Editor. I've never tried but, for e-mail
especially, you might use the appropriate triliteral: TRY. In general
plain text is best written that way, for example USD for US dollar and
GBP for British pound.

I have got as far as creating the new character but cannot get it to
type. It has code E000 allocated to it but this doesnt bring it up.
Anyone?
