Missing currency symbol: CHF

Hi - Has anyone figured out how to edit the list of currency symbols?

I need to write an invoice in Swiss Francs and all I get in the provided list is "SwF" (does anybody actually use that?) - the symbol I'm looking for reads "CHF". I'm hoping Apple will update that in the next version - but is there a possibility for me to enter a new symbol in the meantime?

Please do let me know if you hava an idea. Many thanks!

PS Which apps do use the 4217 Codes? I tried OpenOffice/X11 and its spreadsheet uses the symbols, just like Numbers does.

Here is another terminal operation that might be of use -- haven't tried to make it work myself.
