Hi,

May i know how should i display "$" character using INT21H function 09H?

For example, "The total charge is $200"

How should i write the coding?

Thanks in advance.

You can't print '$' using function 9, because '$' has to be the string terminator, but you can first print "The total charge is ", then use function 2 to print a single character:

mov  ah, 2
mov  dl, '$'
int  21h

and then print the "00". It's inconvenient, but probably the simplest way to do it in DOS.
