U20BD

U+20BD is the Unicode code point for the ruble sign (₽), used as the currency symbol for the ruble. It is part of the Currency Symbols block in Unicode and serves to represent monetary amounts in rubles in digital text, enabling consistent use across platforms and languages.

In UTF-8, U+20BD is encoded as three bytes: E2 82 BD. In HTML, it can be included with the numeric character reference ₽ or ₝. The symbol is supported by most modern fonts and operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and major Linux distributions, though some older or specialized systems may not render it.

The ruble sign is used in financial contexts to denote amounts in rubles. In many locales, especially in Russian typography, the symbol appears after the numeric value with a non-breaking space (for example, "1 ₽"). It is commonly seen on price tags, invoices, financial documents, and software interfaces that display Russian rubles, and may also appear in contexts involving other ruble-denominated currencies that adopt the symbol.

Overall, U+20BD provides a dedicated, standardized symbol for the ruble, supplementing the use of the currency’s ISO code (RUB) and the alphabetic abbreviation, and aiding clear, locale-sensitive monetary notation in digital text.
