Ruble Sign ₽

The Ruble 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+20BD in the Universal Character Set.

The ruble sign (₽) is the currency symbol for the Russian ruble (RUB), officially adopted in 2013. The symbol is based on the Cyrillic letter 'Er' (Р) with a horizontal stroke. It is one of the newer currency symbols in Unicode and has good support in modern fonts and operating systems.

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 Ruble 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 ruble sign in pricing for the Russian market and in financial content involving the Russian economy. The symbol is typically placed after the amount with a space (100 ₽). Use the numeric HTML reference since there is no widely supported named entity for this character.
