History & usage: The TENGE SIGN (U+20B8) is a currency symbol in the Currency Symbols block. It is used to denote monetary units in prices and finance. Formatting can vary by locale. The symbol helps readers recognize amounts quickly. It appears in numbers, receipts, and financial documents. In some regions the symbol is written before the amount; in others it follows the digits. Fonts and keyboards can affect how the mark looks and where it sits in text. Systems often support the codepoint to display the sign correctly across devices. This supports clear communication of value in commerce and accounting. While it is tied to the Kazakhstani tenge in common use, the symbol can appear in contexts that price goods in this currency internationally. Users may see it alongside other currency signs in multinational data and catalogs. Consistent use helps avoid confusion about value. The overall role of currency symbols is to mark monetary units, aiding quick reading and audit trails. The style of presentation may change, but the purpose stays the same: identify money at a glance and support accurate transactions.

Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.
