How to use currency symbols

Click any symbol to copy. Place currency signs before the amount in English ($100, €50) and after in many European conventions (100 $, 50 €). For accounting, the dollar sign usually appears with the column-aligned amount: $ 1,234.56. The cent sign ¢ is for sub-dollar prices (99¢). For multi-currency contexts, use the ISO three-letter code (USD, EUR, JPY) for unambiguous machine-readable text and Unicode symbols for headlines and prices. Note that some apps autocomplete or autoformat dollar signs — paste raw text if you need the symbol preserved verbatim.

Where currency symbols shine

International product listings

Show prices in customers' local currency on product pages and contracts — ₹999 for India, ¥1500 for Japan, R$50 for Brazil (BRL has no standalone Unicode symbol; use R$).

Spreadsheet formatting

Use the symbol in custom number formats so values display as $1,234.56 or €1.234,56 depending on the locale.

Crypto communication

The bitcoin sign ₿ (U+20BF) is the only major crypto with a Unicode symbol. Use it in casual chat about bitcoin prices and tip amounts.

Historical and academic writing

Older currencies like ₧ peseta and ₤ Italian lira have Unicode glyphs for historical accuracy in books and articles about pre-Euro economies.

Decorative price tags

Combine with brackets or dividers for retail-style emphasis — 「 $99 」 or ▸ €49 only ▸.

Frequently asked questions

Why doesn't every currency have a unique symbol?
Unicode adds a symbol only when a currency has wide visual recognition for its sign. Currencies without a distinctive glyph use either their ISO three-letter code (BRL, CHF, AED) or a Latin abbreviation. Brazilian real, Swiss franc, and UAE dirham fall into this group.
Where is the rupee symbol — ₹ or Rs?
The Indian rupee sign ₹ (U+20B9) was added to Unicode in 2010 and is now widely supported. Older systems and Indian fonts predating 2010 still use 'Rs' or 'Rs.' as the abbreviation. For Pakistani and Sri Lankan rupees, the dedicated ₨ sign (U+20A8) is used.
How do I find the symbol for a less-common currency?
Search Unicode by country name ("Unicode symbol for Thai baht") — the official Unicode block name is 'Currency Symbols' and Wikipedia maintains a complete table. Currencies introduced after their host country joined Unicode-aware tech (e.g., post-2010) are most likely to have dedicated glyphs.
