I've found myself confused about which is which sometimes on a cursory glance.\r\n\r\n[The vast majority of coding fonts](http://www.s9w.io/font_compare/) feature a `$` glyph with a continuous vertical line. I believe this should be default in Iosevka also, with the current design making a nice glyph variant. To further distinguish `$` and `S`, I like Source Code Pro's idea of making the serpentine curve a smaller size. It feels more like an operator that way, which is the function of `$` in most programming languages that use it.\r\n"}}
