: Where can i find icon fonts for currency symbols? I would like help to finding an icon font package like ionicon for most, if not all, the currency symbols in the world. I currently use ionicon

A list of fonts that support the Unicode Currency Symbols Block, which contains currency symbols not part of more general blocks (i.e. Basic Latin that contains $ or Latin-1 that contains £) can be found here:


Font Support for Unicode Block 'Currency Symbols'


A list of all unicode currency symbols can be seen here—from which you can see which blocks contain each symbol and fonts that support those blocks.



If you do for some reason want to use an icon font, Font Awesome has a number of currency symbols, which you can find here:

Its better to use ASCII or Unicode, because this fonts or character are already built-in in most of the operating systems that we have today and it has a standard so you don't have problem rendering them in most software you are using.

Unicode is a way that a user can insert special characters on a computer and we are doing it even in applications like Microsoft Office.

You can find how to use it in this link. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_input
And the complete list can be found here also en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode_characters

It's sensible to use characters, not a font. What if the font doesn't work somewhere?

This caught my grandmother out when she wrote her book. She used a font for hebrew characters, and this font didn't print out - so some random letters were used instead.

Instead, you should use the unicode characters. This page has them all, and a selection are below:

U+0024 DOLLAR SIGN $
U+00A2 CENT SIGN ¢
U+00A3 POUND SIGN £
U+00A4 CURRENCY SIGN ¤
U+00A5 YEN SIGN ¥
