Default Where is the cents sign in Excel

To add a little mo
If you type [Alt]+[1] [5] [5] you'll get a cent-symbol,
if you type [Alt]+[0] [1] [6] [2] you'll get a cent-symbol,
and of course if you use insert symbol form one of the font sets, you get
the cent-symbol.
The curious part comes when you use =CODE() for the cells you have showing
the cent-symbol. It returns 162 for all 3 instances.
