Euro Sign €
Usage snapshot:
- Currency symbols denote monetary units in prices and finance; formatting can vary by locale.
History & usage: The EURO SIGN depicts the euro currency. In prices and finance, it marks the amount in euros shown to customers. Use it on product price labels to indicate euro amounts in stores or online, and in receipts to record totals in euros. Include it in invoices to denote euro sums and in currency dropdowns or input fields so users switch to euro values accurately. Keep formatting simple: place the sign near the numeric amount and align the value with other currency entries. For accessibility, ensure screen readers announce the symbol as euro sign and provide a clear label for currency fields. On different platforms, the glyph may render with varying shapes or spacing, but the meaning remains the same and assistive tech can convey the value clearly.

Compatibility & troubleshooting
Font support: if the symbol does not render, the current font likely lacks this codepoint. Choose a font with broad Unicode coverage or allow a fallback font.
Web pages: ensure your CSS font stack includes a general fallback; avoid relying on images for common symbols to preserve accessibility and copyability.
