Rial sign (﷼) is the Unicode character at U+FDFC in Arabic Presentation Forms-B. Official name: RIAL SIGN. It is the currency symbol commonly used for the Iranian rial (ISO code IRR).
Remember
Character ﷼
Unicode U+FDFC
Hex entity ﷼
Decimal ﷼
CSS escape \FDFC
Named entity (none)
Not the same $ · € · IRR
Prefer typing ﷼ in UTF-8 when your file is encoded correctly, or use numeric entities when encoding must be explicit. Set lang and direction appropriately for Arabic-script pages.
Rial using Hex Code: ﷼ 1,000
Rial using HTML Code: ﷼ 1,000
Rial using CSS Entity: 1,000 ﷼
Typed directly: ﷼ 1,000
With ISO code: 1,000 IRR
How It Works
1. Hex:U+FDFC → ﷼ in HTML. The browser turns it into ﷼.
2. Decimal: same code point as 65020 → ﷼. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \FDFC in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ﷼ after the paragraph text.
4. Typed / ISO: paste ﷼ in UTF-8, or write IRR when you need a reliable text fallback.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with the rial sign.
Named?
No &rial;
HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+FDFC. Use ﷼ or ﷼.
$
Not a dollar sign
Do not substitute $ for rial amounts. Use ﷼ or the code IRR.
Fonts
Glyph coverage varies
Some fonts missing Arabic presentation forms show a box or blank. Pair with IRR or a font that includes U+FDFC.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\FDFC belongs in CSS strings. ﷼ / ﷼ belong in HTML.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write ﷼, not ﷼.
RTL
Direction matters
On Arabic pages, set dir="rtl" (or CSS direction) so amounts and the rial mark lay out correctly.
Compatibility
