you should be careful when using non printing characters an a bash prompt as that causes weird issues when writing commands that are longer than 1 line. Also you should use \$ as that will become # if the euid is 0 and $ else. see 'PROMPTING' in bash manual.

Right, you mean using characters that you'd normally access with ALT + number combos like ° , fortunately $ will have no issues.
