currency symbols

Monetary notation marks

Currency symbols are typographic characters representing monetary units: $ for dollar, € for euro, £ for pound, ¥ for yen.

They typically appear adjacent to numerals, either before or after depending on regional convention: $50, 50€.

Some currencies share symbols—$ serves for US, Canadian, Australian, and other dollars—while context or additional letters distinguish them.
