there are three basic designs for the French Franc symbol. On the Internet,
most currency traders use the ISO "FRF" as Rufus suggested. I think I'll go
with that. 

I insist. As for the franc symbol (and probably for others, I guess), this
Microsoft page is nonsense.
The correct sign for franc is F. FRF in international context. All other
forms are considered incorrect by most of the french typographers.
