U20CF

U20CF is a designation used in the Unicode Standard to refer to the code point U+20CF, which resides in the Currency Symbols block (the range for currency signs). The numeric value is hexadecimal 20CF, which is decimal 8399. The actual symbol that appears for U+20CF depends on the font and rendering engine in use; some fonts provide a distinct currency sign for this code point, while others may render it as a generic placeholder.

In practice, U+20CF is used in text processing, data interchange, and localization to encode currency signs. However, since currencies around the world rely on a limited set of common symbols (such as the dollar, euro, or won), not all environments need to rely on U+20CF, and some might map it to related symbols or use multiple code points.

The Currency Symbols block includes a number of code points from U+20A0 to U+20CF, each intended for a specific currency sign. U+20CF is the last entry in that block.

The representation of U+20CF can vary across platforms; proper font support and Unicode rendering are important to ensure correct display.
