About the Ruble Sign Symbol

Last reviewed on May 7, 2026

The Ruble Sign symbol (₽) is one of the currency symbols characters in the AllSymbols catalog. It comes from the Unicode Currency Symbols block (U+20A0–U+20CF) or, for older signs, from Latin-1 Supplement. New currency signs are added to the standard as central banks introduce them; longer-established signs are universally supported.

Where this character is used

Use the symbol when your audience clearly recognizes it. Use the three-letter ISO 4217 code when the symbol is shared between currencies (the dollar sign, for example) or when readers may not recognize the symbol. For mixed-audience writing, combine them once: £25 (GBP).

Code references

In Unicode, Ruble Sign sits at code point U+20BD. Web pages reference it with the HTML numeric entity ₽; CSS rules reference it as a quoted hex escape (the four-digit code prefixed with a backslash); in JavaScript and most modern source-code contexts you can either paste the literal character or use a Unicode escape with the same hex digits.

Rendering and font support

Symbol placement is a locale convention. English typically prefixes (£25); French and German typically suffix with a thin space (25 €). When writing for the open web, follow your audience’s convention rather than imposing one.
