Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+20A2 "₢" Cruzeiro Sign is a currency symbol that was historically used for the Brazilian cruzeiro, the official currency of Brazil from 1942 to 1986 and again from 1990 to 1993. It consists of the letter "C" with a small vertical line or bar through it, resembling a stylized cent sign, and was employed in financial documents and pricing before being replaced by the Brazilian real. While the cruzeiro itself is now obsolete, the Unicode encoding preserves this symbol for historical reference, digital archiving, and occasional use in contexts discussing Brazil's monetary past.
