Khmer Currency Symbol Riel (៛) is the Khmer-block character at Unicode U+17DB (KHMER CURRENCY SYMBOL RIEL). It is the currency sign for the Cambodian Riel (KHR).
Remember
Character ៛
Unicode U+17DB
Hex entity ៛
Decimal ៛
CSS escape \17DB
Named entity (none)
All of these produce the same glyph: ៛ (when the font supports U+17DB). Prefer numeric entities in HTML; use CSS \17DB only in content.

How It Works
1. Hex:U+17DB → ៛ in HTML. The browser turns it into ៛.
2. Decimal: same code point as 6107 → ៛. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \17DB in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ៛ after the paragraph text.
4. Typed: in UTF-8 you can type ៛ directly — same visual result when the font supports it.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with the Khmer Riel symbol.
Named?
No named entity
HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+17DB. Use numeric forms.
Fonts
Need Khmer coverage
Use fonts with the Khmer block (e.g. Noto Sans Khmer, Khmer OS) so ៛ is not a missing glyph.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\17DB belongs in CSS. ៛ / ៛ belong in HTML.
A11y
Label the currency
Add “Riel” or “KHR” nearby so the amount is clear if the glyph fails to render.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write ៛, not ៛.
Default
Type ៛ when you can
On UTF-8 pages you may type ៛ directly; entities help when encoding must be explicit.
