I am experiencing a bizarre tag behavior
-
I use tags to refer to stock tickers on my website. Because most users of Twitter are used to seeing them printed with a dollar sign preceding the actual ticker, I have adopted that standard on my own website. This has worked flawlessly and without issue except in a single instance.
When I try to use the tag “$IYT,” when I publish the post, the tag is converted to “IYT,” that is, the dollar sign is dropped. I have tried multiple times and it invariably is converted.
With every other combination of letters I have tried, the dollar sign remains but not with this one. It does not appear to be related to the letter “I,” because I have other tickers that begin with that. There’s something else going on here that I can not figure out.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello there,
It looks like this site is on the business plan, so you can reach out for help in real time here: https://wordpress.com/help/contact
I’ve taken a look at this and it looks like this is a bug with the theme: https://en-gb.wordpress.org/themes/coral-dark/
I can’t seem to replicate this on another installation.
The $ is used in them building quite a lot in PHP, so it’s totally probable there’s something a miss here.
I hope this helps to point you in the right direction.
