U+20A7 "₧" Peseta Sign Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
₧
U+20A7 "₧" Peseta Sign is a currency symbol that represents the Spanish peseta, the former official currency of Spain before it was replaced by the euro in 2002. This sign, which resembles a capital P with a double horizontal stroke through its stem, was standardized in the Unicode standard to facilitate digital representation of historical financial documents and texts. While the peseta is no longer in active circulation, the character remains in use for archival purposes, historical references, and occasional display in cultural or numismatic contexts. U+20A7 is encoded in the Currency Symbols block of Unicode and is distinct from similar looking characters like the peso sign or capital P.
