Is there a "$" or a "£" sign for Rubles, Pesos, Yuan, etc.?

Factual Questions
1

…It’s all mostly there in the title, I think.

The only other “currency” signs I can think of are the “€” (Euro) and the “¥” (Yen) signs. Are there any others, that I haven’t heard of?

Yep. Here’s a list from Unicode (pdf file). I’m not finding one for rubles specifically right off hand…dictionaries usually have things like this in an appendix, though.

That almost sounds like a handy answer…

for pesos. Of MX if you don’t want to confuse things. Or $xx.xx MN in Mexico (on checks, especially).

Similiarly Canada, or CN

While I’ve seen MX$ in Mexico, I am more accustomed to seeing the three letter abbreviations in US financial markets. [MEX$ and CDN$]. CN is used as an abbreviation for China in many settings. I suppose the $ renders it sufficiently unambiguous, but it’s your call.

BTW, “$” was the symbol for “peso” long before the US dollar existed. Don’t just take my word, ask Cecil

I know that the symbol for the current Brazilian currency, the real, is R$.

The ISO has a assigned a three letter abbreviation for every currency. The first two letters are the two letter country code and the third letter almost always a mnemonic for the name of the currency. So USD, CAD, CHF (Swiss francs), SWK (Swedish Kroner) and so on.

China has a Chinese symbol of course. Often times on prices in China you see the “yen” symbol. I often find it confusing since I also lived in Japan.

The three letter abbreviation exists for all currencies and is the standard in banking and trading.

[nitpick] It’s SEK.[/nitpick]

Well, here’s the NIS (New Israeli Shekel) symbol - ₪ (hint - every Unicode symbol can be put in a message as “&#<decimal value of symbol>;”) - so the Ruble would be… you’re right! There is no Ruble sign! But the Euro is "&#8364;" (remove '’ to display - like so € )

These symbols are sort of like strings - every yo-yo needs one… (and the original question has been answered, so I’m just having some harmless fun showing off my coding skills :p)
