Vietnamese Dong Sign ₫

The Vietnamese Dong Sign character (₫) is a standard HTML entity defined in the HTML specification. In HTML source code, it can be written using the named entity reference ₫, the decimal numeric character reference ₫, or the hexadecimal numeric reference ₫. The character is assigned Unicode code point U+20AB in the Universal Character Set.

The Vietnamese dong sign (₫) is the currency symbol for the Vietnamese dong (VND). The symbol is a lowercase 'd' with a horizontal stroke. Vietnam has one of the fastest-growing economies in Southeast Asia, making the dong sign increasingly important in international e-commerce and trade documentation.

Currency symbol entities are essential for e-commerce platforms, financial dashboards, and any web content that displays monetary values across different markets. Using the correct HTML entity or Unicode code point ensures that currency symbols render consistently regardless of the visitor's operating system, installed fonts, or browser configuration. For international websites, properly encoded currency entities enable accurate localization of prices and financial data.

When deciding how to encode the Vietnamese Dong Sign character in your HTML documents, the named entity ₫ is generally the most readable choice for developers reviewing or maintaining source code. The decimal form ₫ and hexadecimal form ₫ are equally valid alternatives that work in contexts where named entities may not be supported, or when generating HTML output programmatically from server-side code. All three representations produce identical visual output in every modern web browser.

Use the Vietnamese dong sign in pricing for the Vietnamese market, manufacturing cost documentation, and e-commerce platforms. The symbol is typically placed after the amount (500,000₫). Vietnamese dong amounts tend to be large numbers, so proper number formatting is important alongside the symbol.
