Currency symbol
A currency symbol is a graphic symbol used as a shorthand for a currency's name, especially in reference to amounts of money.
Although many former currency symbols were rendered obsolete by the adoption of the euro, having a new and unique currency symbol – implementation of which requires the adoption of new Unicode and type formats – has now become a status symbol for international currencies. The European Commission considers the global recognition of the euro sign part of its success. In 2009, India launched a public competition to replace the ₨ ligature it shared with neighboring countries.〔Westcott, K. (2009) (India seeks rupee status symbol ), BBC 10 March 2009, accessed 1 September 2009〕 It finalized its new currency symbol, ₹ () on 15 July 2010. It is a blend of the Latin letter 'R' with the Devanagari letter 'र' (ra).
==Usage==
When writing currency amounts the location of the symbol varies by currency. Many currencies, especially in the English-speaking world and Latin America, place it before the amount (e.g., R$50,00); and the Cape Verdean escudo places its symbol in the decimal position (i.e., 20$00).〔 Banco de Cabo Verde. "(Moedas )." Accessed 25 Feb 2011.〕
The decimal separator also follows local countries' standards. For instance, the United Kingdom often uses an interpunct as the decimal point on price stickers (e.g., £5·52), although not in print. Commas (e.g. €5,00) or decimal points (e.g. $50.00) are common separators used in other countries. See decimal separator for information on international standards.
