A currency sign is a graphic symbol often used as a shorthand for a currency's name. Internationally, ISO 4217 codes are used instead of currency signs, though currency signs may be in common use in their respective countries. Most currencies in the world have no specific symbol. ISO 4217 is the international standard describing three letter codes (also known as the currency code) to define the names of currencies established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). ...

When writing currency amounts the location of the sign varies by currency. Many currencies, especially in the English-speaking world, place it before the amount (e.g., £50.00); some after the amount (e.g., 50.00 S₣); and before they were abolished, the sign for the Portuguese Escudo and the French Franc were placed in the decimal position (i.e., 50$00 or 12₣34). The standardized European default placement, used in absence of a national standard, is that (€) is placed before the amount. However, many Eurozone countries have sustained or generated alternative conventions. The Eurozone (also called Euro Area, Eurosystem or Euroland) refers to the European Union member states that have adopted the euro currency union. ...

The decimal separator can also take local countries' standards. For instance, the United Kingdom often uses a middle dot as the decimal point on price stickers (eg., '£5·52'), although not in print. A comma (eg. '5,00 €') is a common separator used in other countries. See decimal separator for information on international standards. A middle dot is one of several types of dots that occur in the middle of a character space, such as the examples in the following table. ...
