  Overview

This page is a list of symbols used in everyday life to denote that a number is a monetary value, such as the dollar sign "$", the Pound sign "£", and the Euro sign "€".

IMPORTANT - We also maintain a full list of three-letter codes used internationally to distinguish one currency from another, such as "USD" for the United States Dollar, "GBP" for the United Kingdom Pound, and "EUR" for the Euro. To see a complete list of all of these codes, refer to our XE.com - ISO 4217 Type Currency Code List.

  Fonts Used in this Page

Each currency symbol is presented first as a graphic, then in three "Unicode-friendly" fonts: Code2000, Tahoma, and Arial Unicode MS. The graphic symbol in the first column will always be visible, but the symbols in the other columns may or may not be available, depending on which fonts are installed on your computer.

Note that of the three fonts used below, only the Code2000 font contains all the listed currency symbols. The other fonts have missing elements, which will appear as hollow boxes. No currency symbol is a hollow box; a hollow box always means that a font does not contain a symbol for that currency.

• Code2000 is a highly recommended shareware font containing all symbols. You can download it here.
• Tahoma is a common font included with certain Microsoft products.
• Arial Unicode MS is a common font included with certain Microsoft products.

If you have all three of the above fonts installed, you may notice that the symbols vary slightly in design from one font to another. This is normal, as there are often multiple accepted ways of rendering a currency symbol. For example, in the United States, the dollar sign is sometimes rendered with two vertical lines, and sometimes with one, both of which are acceptable.

To install the Code2000 font, use the link above to download it and save it somewhere on your computer. Then, unzip the downloaded file and read the enclosed CODE2000.HTM file for the details on the shareware terms of use. That file also contains detailed instructions on how to install the file.

To find how work with currency symbols in your documents, scroll down to the How To Work With Currency Symbols section at the end of this page.

  How To Work With Currency Symbols

To view and work with currency symbols on your computer, you first need to have fonts installed that are capable of displaying them. Not all font symbols are available in all fonts, except Code2000. We recommend that you download and install the Code2000 font, which contains all symbols. (See the fonts section above on how to do this.)

Once the Code2000 font is installed, you can begin using the symbols in your documents.

Using Currency Symbols in Microsoft Word XP / 2003

1. Ensure that you have Code2000 downloaded and installed. (See above for details.)
2. Start a new document Microsoft Word, or open an existing Word document into which you wish to place the currency symbol.
3. Open the font selector by clicking Format > Font. ( See screen shot )
4. Select the Code2000 font, and then clicking OK. ( See screen shot )
5. Open the symbol selector by clicking Insert > Symbol. ( See screen shot )
6. A new window will open up called Symbol. ( See screen shot )
7. Look up the Unicode: Hex code from the above table, enter it in the Character Code, and click Insert. ( See screen shot )
8. The symbol will now be in your Word document. ( See screen shot )

Tips and Tricks

1. Once you have a currency symbol inserted in your document in the Code2000 font, you can check to see if the symbol is available in other fonts. Just highlight the currency symbol and then change the font. If the symbol is not supported, it will disappear or be replaced by a hollow box. If this happens, just try another font, or go back to Code2000.
2. If you want to send a document with a special currency symbol to someone else, then they will need to have the font for that symbol on their computer as well. Otherwise, they will not see they symbol. The simplest solution is often to use the Code2000 font in your document, and then have the recipient install the Code2000 font (using the instruction in the fonts section above).
