I’ve seen ¤ used as a currency mark in games. Dwarf Fortress is the one that comes to mind, but I feel like I’ve seen it elsewhere as well.

Needless to say, they’re wrong.
Not least because there’s no such thing as a “compiled” or “interpreted” language.
Which is to say that it’s a property of the tooling rather than the language itself. There’s nothing stopping anyone from writing a C interpreter or a Python compiler.
But also it’s a magical curse from Molag Bal.
Though the metaphysics of TES are weird enough that it’s not really safe to assume anything has the same underlying cause as it would in the real world (e.g. sunlight comes from another dimension through a tear in space). So maybe all diseases are actually curses in the setting.

Yeah, I got a new laptop recently with no intention of using the pre-installed OS, but I wanted to boot it up once just to make sure all the hardware was working.
It may have actually taken longer to figure out how to create a local account on W11 than to wipe it and install Linux.

That said, I’m here from All, have no expertise in identifying plants, and am doubly unfamiliar with Australian flora, so take the above with a biiig grain of salt.
Ironic, given that the English “dandelion” was borrowed from the Old French dent de leon (“lion’s tooth”).
