Hello Tex, > When is a character properly called a currency sign? If a character is used EXCLUSIVELY for the purpose of expressing a currency, it is a currency symbol. If not, it is not a currency symbol. U+5186 is a han character which have the meaning of the Yen currency as well as its original meaning "round". It can be used in a sentence that has nothing to do with money. So it is not a currency symbol. T.
