Peso Sign ₱

The Peso 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+20B1 in the Universal Character Set.

The peso sign (₱) is the currency symbol for the Philippine peso (PHP). While Mexico and other Latin American countries also use currencies called 'peso,' they typically use the dollar sign ($). The Philippine peso has its own distinct symbol with a double horizontal stroke through the P.

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 Peso 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 peso sign in pricing for the Philippine market, remittance services, and e-commerce platforms serving the Philippines. For Mexican and other Latin American pesos, the dollar sign ($) with the MXN or appropriate currency code is the standard convention.
