Currency Sign
The hryvnia sign is a cursive Ukrainian letter He (г), with a double horizontal stroke, symbolizing stability, similar to that used in other currency symbols such as ¥ or €. The sign was encoded as U+20B4 in Unicode 4.1 and released in 2005. It is now supported by the latest computer systems. It is still rarely used in Ukraine; instead, the abbreviation "грн." is preferred.

Famous quotes containing the words currency and/or sign:
“Both of us felt more anxiety about the South—about the colored people especially—than about anything else sinister in the result. My hope of a sound currency will somehow be realized; civil service reform will be delayed; but the great injury is in the South. There the Amendments will be nullified, disorder will continue, prosperity to both whites and colored people will be pushed off for years.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“When a woman says she won’t, it’s a good sign that she will. And when she says she will, it is an even better sign.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
