Notepad++ Zen Coding : Print $ (dollar sign)

I'm using N++ with Zen Coding. And now i want to make a shortkey. Usually I edit the ZenCoding.js, But when I tried to print Dollar sign, it failed.

My question is, how to print dollar sign, with Npp Zend coding?

Example: When I type "po", and then I "Expand Abbreviation", it becomes "$_POST[]".

To create a short key for Zen Coding (Emmet) with a dollar, use $| (dollar pipe).

This problem has haunted me for years. And the solution is counter-intuitive. To write the dollar sign in the text, put the dollar sign followed by a pipe character.

$|

It's counterintuitive because we learned that the pipe character serves to indicate the cursor position after autocompletion occurs. But in this particular case, the pipe character "post escapes" the dollar sign. I don't know why this is so.

$ sign stands for:

Item numbering with $ character: li.item$*3 will output <li> tag three times, replacing $ character with item number.
Multiple '$' characters in a row are used as zero padding, i.e.: li.item$$$ → li.item001

How about using &#36; istead of $?
