¥

The yen and yuan sign (¥) is a currency sign used to represent the base units yen (Japanese yen) and the Chinese yuan (renminbi) when writing in the Latin script. This character resembles a capital letter Y with a single or double horizontal stroke. The symbol is usually placed before the value it represents, for example: ¥50, or JP¥50 and CN¥50 when other is needed. When written in Japanese and Chinese, the Japanese kanji or Chinese character follows the amount, for example 50円 in Japan and 50元 or 50圆 in China.
