<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\20B8";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Using Hex Code: &#x20B8;</p>
  <p>Using HTML Code: &#8376;</p>
  <p id="point">Using CSS Entity: </p>
  <p>Typed directly: ₸</p>
  <p>Example: 15&nbsp;000 ₸</p>
</body>
</html>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+20B8 → ₸ in HTML. The browser turns it into ₸.

2. Decimal: same code point as 8376 → ₸. Same result as hex.

3. CSS: use \20B8 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ₸ after the paragraph text.

4. Typed / example: paste ₸ in UTF-8, or write 15 000 ₸ for a short KZT price.   keeps the thousands group from wrapping awkwardly.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with Tenge Sign.

Named?

No named entity

HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+20B8. Use ₸ or ₸.

₮

Not tugrik or manat

Nearby Currency Symbols like tugrik (U+20AE) and manat (U+20BC) are different currencies — do not swap by resemblance.

KZT

Fallback to ISO code

If font coverage is weak, show KZT beside or instead of the glyph so the currency stays clear.

Fonts

Currency font coverage

Some UI fonts omit less-common currency signs. Prefer a stack that covers Currency Symbols for checkout UI.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\20B8 belongs in CSS strings. ₸ / ₸ belong in HTML.

Semicolon

End numeric references

Always finish with ; — write ₸, not &#8376.
