What the currency symbols inventory actually contains
Every figure below is counted from the 61 entries stored for this page rather than estimated. The characters are drawn from Currency Symbols (34), Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs (9) and Latin-1 Supplement (4).
| Group | Entries | Examples | Code points | Usual presentation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Symbol | 49 | $ ¢ £ | U+0024–U+00A5 | Text presentation |
| Letter | 1 | ƒ | U+0192 | Text presentation |

| Punctuation | 2 | ％ % | U+0025–U+FF05 | Text presentation |
Practical note: Presentation is the typical default. A variation selector, a specific font stack, or an application that overrides emoji rendering can change what you see after pasting.

How to type these currency symbols directly
You do not have to copy. Each code point below doubles as a keyboard code — decimal for a Windows alt code, hexadecimal for Word and macOS.
| Character | Name | Windows | Hex | HTML |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $ | Dollar Sign | Alt 36 | 0024 | $ |
| ֏ | Armenian Dram Sign | Alt 1423 | 058F | ֏ |
| ₠ | Euro-Currency Sign | Alt 8352 | 20A0 | ₠ |
| ₩ | Won Sign | Alt 8361 | 20A9 | ₩ |
| ₱ | Peso Sign | Alt 8369 | 20B1 | ₱ |
| ₺ | Turkish Lira Sign | Alt 8378 | 20BA | ₺ |
Two limits apply to alt codes: a physical keypad, and a ceiling at U+FFFF. 9 entries here sit above that ceiling. Full per-platform instructions live in the keyboard guide.

How currency symbols render across fonts, apps and devices
Most of these live in one place: Currency Symbols holds 72% of them. The rest come from Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs and Latin-1 Supplement. 52 act like letters.
They take the colour of the text around them. 9 are emoji and arrive in colour you cannot change. Unicode files the emoji ones under Objects and Travel & Places.
The newest here arrived in Emoji 1.0. Older phones show a blank box instead.
A pasted entry is redrawn by the receiving application's font. Expect small differences in width and weight across devices, and larger ones where a font lacks the character entirely.
