I have seen this convention to replace the decimal dot only in schematics and BOMs, and I always wondered were it originated. This Wikipedia article discusses its usage in conjunction with the currency symbol cifrão ("2$50")

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/cifrão

Perhaps this hint will help someone to track down its origin.

Apparently it is written in the British BS-1852 (70s? This would somewhat fit to the first appearances of the marking style to old schematics (according more google)) that specifies the coding used for Resistor and Capacitor values. I have no copy of it at my disposal.

There were reply that did point out this BS-1852.
