[8983( works for me on Windows7 64-bit with Pd 0.51.1. It doesn't work with Debian 9.5 32-bit with 0.49.
I don't know why but I need it to work on my Linux machines and not on Windows.
164 looks better than the dollar sign. I might use that as well. I went through them all and couldn't decide so far . . .

BTW, I just tried replacing the pound sign [35( with unicode [8983( which is a pound sign for telephones. This works on the current Pd 0.51
how so ?
on my machines (win, debian) ASCII code is still wrapped between 0 and 255, like always. so sending ASCII 8983 to [list tosymbol] outputs the same result as ASCII 23. (I'm on PD 0.51.2)
BTW, i use ASCII 164 as a (well, rather unsatisfying) replacement for ASCII 35 (diamond).
And yes, I agree it would be great if canvases would allow this character to be displayed correctly.
