U+FDFC "﷼" Rial Sign Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+FDFC "﷼" Rial Sign is a typographic symbol representing the rial, the official currency of Iran, as well as historically several other countries like Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and Oman, though many of those nations now use distinct symbols. It is encoded in the Arabic Presentation Forms-A block, reflecting its origin as a ligature in Arabic script, often typeset as a combination of the letter "ر" (ra) and "ي" (ya) with a diacritic to form the word "ريال." This character allows for compact representation of the currency in digital text, particularly in contexts requiring bidirectional rendering and Arabic calligraphy, and it is commonly used in financial documents, pricing, and signage in Iran, where it remains the standard official currency symbol.
