Manat sign (₼) is the Currency Symbols character at Unicode U+20BC (MANAT SIGN). It is the currency symbol for the Azerbaijani manat (AZN), used in prices, finance UIs, and e-commerce.
Remember
Character ₼
Unicode U+20BC
Hex entity ₼
Decimal ₼
CSS escape \20BC
Named entity (none)
Hex, decimal, CSS, and a typed character all produce the same glyph: ₼. Prefer typing ₼ in UTF-8 HTML when you can; use entities when encoding must be explicit.

How It Works
1. Hex:U+20BC → ₼ in HTML. The browser turns it into ₼.
2. Decimal: same code point as 8380 → ₼. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \20BC in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ₼ after the paragraph text.
4. Typed ₼: best for normal UTF-8 text, such as price labels.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with the manat sign.
Named?
No &manat;
HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+20BC. Use numeric forms.
Code vs symbol
₼ ≠ AZN
Use the glyph for display prices. Use the ISO code AZN when a currency code is required.
Font
Glyph support varies
Older fonts may miss ₼ — fall back to AZN or a Unicode-capable font if needed.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\20BC belongs in CSS. ₼ / ₼ belong in HTML.
Encoding
Declare UTF-8
If you type ₼ directly, keep <meta charset="UTF-8"> so the file is not misread.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write ₼, not ₼.
