U+20AF "₯" Drachma Sign is a typographic symbol representing the drachma, the former official currency of Greece before it adopted the euro in 2001. This character was included in the Unicode Currency Symbols block to support historical and legacy financial documents, as the drachma had a long history dating back to ancient Greece and was used in various modern forms until its replacement. The sign itself is a stylized combination of the Greek letters delta and rho, with a horizontal bar, resembling its handwritten or printed representation in Greek commerce. Its digital presence allows for accurate representation of past economic data, historical texts, and numismatic references in modern computing systems.
