0x20AD

0x20AD is the hexadecimal representation of the Unicode code point U+20AD, which is named LAO KIP SIGN. This character represents the Lao kip, the currency of Laos, and is used as a currency symbol in written Lao text. The symbol associated with U+20AD is ₭, commonly used to denote Lao kip amounts alongside the ISO code LAK.

In Unicode, U+20AD is part of the Currency Symbols block. The Lao kip sign is encoded in UTF-8 as three bytes: E2 82 AD. Rendering of the symbol depends on font support; not all fonts include a glyph for ₭, so it may appear as a missing character in environments with limited font coverage.

Usage and context: The Lao kip sign is used in pricing, financial documents, and digital text within Laos or contexts referencing Lao currency. It is distinct from the Vietnamese đồng sign (₫), which is U+20AB. While LAK is the currency code, the ₭ symbol is commonly used locally and in price notation to denote Lao kip amounts, such as ₭50,000.

Overall, 0x20AD refers specifically to the Lao kip symbol, a Unicode currency sign used to denote Lao currency values in text, with typical rendering dependent on font support.
