Whats the difference between $ and % in the prompt? #7

Bourne-style shells (sh, ksh, bash, and the like) use $ as their default prompt character. csh-style shells use % by default. zsh shares features of both families of shells, and it uses % as its prompt character.

The Polyglot Prompt simply uses the prompt character that each shell would use by default. So you'll see $ for all shells except zsh, which uses %.
