A '''currency symbol''' is a graphic symbol used as a shorthand for a [[currency]]'s name, especially in reference to amounts of money. They typically employ the first letter or character of the currency, sometimes with minor changes such as [[Typographic ligature|ligature]]s or overlaid vertical or horizontal bars. Today, [[ISO 4217]] codes are used instead of currency symbols for most official purposes,{{Citation needed|date=February 2011}} though currency symbols may be in common use in many other contexts. Few currencies in the world have no shorthand symbol at all.

Although many former currency symbols were rendered obsolete by the adoption of the [[euro]], having a new and unique currency symbols – 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]] {{euro}} part of its success. In 2009, India launched a public competition to replace the ₨ ligature it shared with neighboring countries.<ref name="Rupee symbol">Westcott, K. (2009) [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/7923825.stm India seeks rupee status symbol], [[BBC]] 10 March 2009, accessed 1 September 2009</ref> It finalized its new currency symbol, [[Indian rupee sign|₹]] ({{INR}}) on 15 July 2010. It is a blend of the [[Latin alphabet|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 Latin America and the English-speaking world, place it before the amount (e.g., R$50,00); many others place it after the amount (e.g., 50.00 SFr); and the [[Cape Verdean escudo]], like the former [[Portuguese escudo]] and [[French franc]], placed its symbol in the decimal position (i.e., 20$00).<ref name="BCV">{{pt}} Banco de Cabo Verde. "[http://www.bcv.cv/vPT/Notas%20e%20Moedas/Moedas/Paginas/Moedas.aspx Moedas]." Accessed 25 Feb 2011.</ref>

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#Dot countries|decimal separator]] for information on international standards.

Older currency symbols have evolved slowly, often from previous currencies. The [[dollar sign|dollar and peso symbols]] originated from the mark employed to denote [[Spanish dollar|the Spanish ''real de a ocho'']], whereas the [[Pound sign|pound and lira symbols]] evolved from an [[L]] standing for ''[[Libra (weight)|libra]]'', a Roman pound of silver. Newly invented currencies and currencies adopting new symbols have symbolism closer to their adopter. The added center bar in the [[real sign]] is meant to symbolize stability.<ref name="The real">{{cite web|title=The real. rs money.|url=http://www.ecb.int/pub/pdf/other/eurobren.pdf|publisher=ECB|accessdate=2011-05-21|page=3|format=PDF}}</ref> The [[Indian rupee sign|new Indian rupee symbol]], {{INR}}, is a stylized combination of Latin and [[Devanagari]] letters.

There are also other considerations, such as the perception of the business community{{Citation needed|date=February 2011}} and how the symbol is rendered on computers. For a new symbol to be used, software to render it needs to be promulgated and keyboards need to be altered or shortcuts added to type the icon. The EU was criticized for not considering how the euro symbol would need to be customized to work in different fonts.<ref name="Rupee symbol"/> The original design was also exceptionally wide. These two factors have led to most typefaces employing customized, font-specific versions, usually with reduced width.
