Definition

What Is the Tugrik Sign Entity?

Tugrik Sign (₮) is the Currency Symbols character at Unicode U+20AE (TUGRIK SIGN). It is the official symbol for the Mongolian tugrik (MNT).

Remember

Character     ₮
Unicode       U+20AE
Hex entity    &#x20AE;
Decimal       &#8366;
Named entity  (none)
CSS escape    \20AE
Not the same  ₸ (tenge) · ₺ (lira) · MNT

Hex, decimal, CSS, and a typed character all produce the same glyph: ₮. Prefer ₮ when you want an explicit entity. There is no named HTML entity for this character.

Hex + Decimal + CSS + Typed

Four ways to display ₮ in HTML and CSS (no named entity).

html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Tugrik Sign (₮)</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\20AE";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Built with Hex: &#x20AE;</p>
  <p>Built with Decimal: &#8366;</p>
  <p id="point">Built with CSS: </p>
  <p>Typed: ₮</p>
  <p>Price: &#x20AE; 25 000</p>
</body>
</html>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: ₮ inserts Unicode code point 20AE → ₮.

2. Decimal: same code point as 8366 → ₮.

3. CSS: use \20AE in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends ₮.

4. Typed: paste ₮ in a UTF-8 document, or write Price: ₮ 25 000.

5. Named: there is none — always use a numeric reference or CSS escape.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with Tugrik Sign.

Named

No named entity

HTML5 does not define &tugrik; or similar. Use ₮ or ₮.

Look-alikes

₮ ≠ ₸ ≠ ₺

Tugrik is Mongolia (MNT). Tenge is Kazakhstan. Turkish lira is Turkey. Pick the correct currency glyph for your locale.

A11y

Add context

A lone ₮ may be unclear. Pair it with “tugrik” or “MNT” for screen readers and international readers.

Fonts

Glyph coverage

Currency Symbols coverage varies. Test pricing pages on mobile and provide an MNT text fallback if ₮ is missing.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\20AE belongs in CSS. ₮ / ₮ belong in HTML.

Charset

Use UTF-8

Always set charset="UTF-8" so typed ₮ and numeric entities decode correctly.

Tugrik Sign (U+20AE) and its entity forms (₮, ₮, CSS \\20AE) are supported in all modern browsers. Glyph coverage depends on the font.
