Mill Sign Symbol Meaning
The mill sign (₥) is the Unicode “MILL SIGN” character at U+20A5 (HTML: ₥). It’s used to represent a “mill,” a unit that often appears in pricing or rate contexts for very small currency amounts. In documents, menus, invoices, or product descriptions, it can help convey fractional-value pricing more clearly than words alone. Because some fonts may not include this glyph, it’s best to test your output where it will be displayed. When coding, you can render it reliably by using the correct Unicode escape sequence.
Common uses
- •Writing pricing or rates that use mill-based fractions (e.g., per-unit cost)
- •Formatting financial or accounting text where a compact currency unit is preferred
- •Labeling charts and dashboards that show small monetary values
- •Editing or localizing documents that already use the mill sign
- •Designing UI text for price breakdowns and fine-grained cost displays
