Drachma Sign Symbol Meaning
The Drachma Sign (₯) is a Unicode currency symbol (U+20AF) represented in HTML as ₯ and in code with escapes such as \\20AF or \\u{20AF}. Use it when you need a distinct symbol for drachma-denominated amounts, such as in captions, archived documents, localized mockups, or typographic comparisons.
