Won sign

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The won sign (₩) is a symbol that is commonly used for South Korean won, but also used for the following currencies:

• North Korean won
• Woolong, a fictional currency in Cowboy Bebop
• Kinzcash, a fictional form of currency in the online game Webkinz

The directory separator character also appears on Korean versions of Microsoft Windows as the ₩ character.^[1]

The Unicode codes for it are 8361 (decimal) and 20A9 (hex). Thus, your browser should render ₩ as the won sign (₩).
