How It Works
1. Hex:₲ inserts code point U+20B2 → ₲.
2. Decimal: same code point as 8370 → ₲. Same visual as hex.
3. CSS: use \20B2 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends ₲.
4. Typed: paste ₲ in a UTF-8 document when you need the Guarani glyph. Prefer aria-label or the words “Guarani” / PYG so the amount is clear to everyone.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with Guarani sign.
Name
No named entity
There is no HTML5 named entity for U+20B2. Use ₲ or ₲. Do not invent &guarani;.
$
Not the dollar sign
Dollar is $ (U+0024). Guarani is ₲. Different currencies — do not substitute one for the other.
PYG
ISO code fallback
When fonts lack ₲, write PYG or Gs so the currency stays clear.
Font
Font coverage
Some fonts omit Currency Symbols. If ₲ is missing, fall back to text (PYG) or a font with U+20B2 coverage.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\20B2 belongs in CSS strings. ₲ / ₲ belong in HTML.
a11y
Add accessible text
Screen readers may not announce ₲ clearly. Prefer aria-label with “Guarani” or nearby PYG prose.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish entities with ; — write ₲, not ₲.
