<P> Older currency symbols have evolved slowly, often from previous currencies . The dollar and peso symbols originated from the mark employed to denote the Spanish real de a ocho, whereas the pound and lira symbols evolved from an L standing for libra, a Roman pound of silver . Newly invented currencies and currencies adopting new symbols have symbolism closer to their adopter . The added center bar in the real sign is meant to symbolize stability . The new Indian rupee symbol, ₹, is a stylised combination of Latin and Devanagari letters . </P> <P> There are also other considerations, such as the perception of the business community and how the symbol is rendered on computers . For a new symbol to be used, software to render it needs to be promulgated and keyboards need to be altered or shortcuts added to type the icon . The EU was criticized for not considering how the euro symbol would need to be customized to work in different fonts . The original design was also exceptionally wide . These two factors have led to most typefaces employing customized, font - specific versions, usually with reduced width . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Symbol </Th> <Th> Uses </Th> <Th> Notes </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> ¤ ¤ </Td> <Td> Zzz Generic currency sign </Td> <Td> Used when the correct symbol is not available </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Afg ؋ </Td> <Td> Afghani Afghan afghani </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Ar Ar </Td> <Td> Ariary Malagasy ariary </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> ₿ ₿ </Td> <Td> Bitcoin Bitcoin </Td> <Td> Unicode: U + 20BF ₿ BITCOIN SIGN (May display incorrectly).
