About
Your keyboard hands you a dollar sign and maybe a pound or euro, but the world trades in far more currencies than a standard layout admits. This page gathers the money signs that never made it onto a physical key — the Korean won ₩, Israeli new shekel ₪, Vietnamese đồng ₫, Thai baht ฿, Turkish lira ₺, Russian ruble ₽ and Philippine peso ₱ — sitting next to the familiar ¢ £ ¥ €. One tap copies the exact character, ready to paste anywhere.
If you sell across borders, the right symbol removes any doubt about what a buyer is actually paying. Quoting a price as ฿1,290 or ₩38,000 reads instantly as baht or won, where writing 'THB' or 'KRW' feels like an accounting export. Marketplace listings, restaurant menus, invoices and shipping quotes all look more trustworthy when the amount carries its native sign rather than a three-letter code or a bare number.
A few of the signs people hunt for hardest aren't on any Western keyboard at all. The Indian rupee ₹, introduced in 2010, post-dates the layouts most of us type on, and the same is true of newer marks like the Ukrainian hryvnia ₴ and Mongolian tögrög ₮. There is even a generic currency sign ¤ for a country-neutral placeholder. Grab any of them here instead of memorising an alt-code you will forget by next week.
The page is called Currency & Units, so past the money sit the marks and measures a keyboard skips too — the degree signs ℃ and ℉, the micro µ and ohm Ω, and squared-up metric units like ㎏ ㎎ ㎜ ㎝ ㎞ ㎡ ㎥ that each pack a full unit into one character. Reference marks round it out: the numero № that goes before a number, the per-mille ‰ for parts per thousand, and the legal trio ™ © ® — each a single tap away.
Every glyph here is plain Unicode text, not an emoji, so it stays crisp black text in whatever font you use — no cartoon coin, no colour shift between phone and laptop. That keeps them safe for spreadsheets, invoices and PDFs. A couple of look-alikes reward a second glance: the cent sign ¢ is a struck-through c that pairs with $ for sub-dollar amounts and never replaces it, while the yen ¥ and a barred pound £ share that double-bar styling, so check the letter underneath before copying. The fullwidth ＄ is wider than a plain $, which suits CJK text.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I type the euro sign €?
- On Windows, hold Alt and type 0128 on the numeric keypad; on a Mac US keyboard it's Option+Shift+2. The fastest cross-device method is simply to tap € above to copy it, then paste.
- How do I type a cent symbol ¢?
- On Windows use Alt+0162, and on Mac press Option+4. If you'd rather not memorise codes, copy ¢ from this page — it pastes into any app as ordinary text.
- How do I get the degree and metric-unit symbols?
- The temperature signs ℃ ℉, the micro µ and ohm Ω, and metric units like ㎏ ㎜ ㎡ are each a single Unicode character, so you don't need superscripts or special formatting. Tap any of them above to copy, then paste as plain text.
- How do I type the rupee sign ₹?
- Indian keyboards have a dedicated key, often AltGr+4; everywhere else the reliable route is to copy ₹ from here. Its Unicode code point is U+20B9 if you need to enter it manually.
- What's the difference between ¥ and the other currency signs?
- ¥ is a Y crossed by two bars, used for Japanese yen and Chinese yuan. Don't confuse it with the double-barred pound £ or the won ₩, which is a W with two bars — the underlying letter tells them apart.
- Do these currency symbols work on every device?
- Yes. They're standard Unicode, so you can copy and paste ₩ ₪ ฿ € consistently across Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and the web, as long as the font covers the glyph. They stay black text and never turn into an emoji.
