The Israeli new shekel (Hebrew: שֶׁקֶל חָדָשׁ sheqel ẖadash; Arabic: شيكل جديد šēkal jadīd; sign: ₪; code: ILS), also known as simply the Israeli shekel (Hebrew: שקל ישראלי, Arabic: شيكل إسرائيلي ), is the currency of Israel and is also used as a legal tender in the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. The yen or yuan sign (¥) is a currency sign used by the Japanese yen and the Chinese yuan currencies.This monetary symbol resembles a Latin letter Y with a single or double horizontal stroke. The symbol is usually placed before the value it represents, for example ¥50, unlike the kanji/Chinese character, which is more commonly used in Japanese and Chinese and is written following the amount.
Contents.Code points The code point is U+00A5 ¥ YEN SIGN (HTML ¥ ¥). Additionally, there is a character (¥) at code point U+FFE5 ¥ FULLWIDTH YEN SIGN (HTML ¥ In the block ') for use with wide fonts, especially East Asian fonts.The character set assigned code point A5 to the ¥ in 1985. This was quickly adopted by many computer systems which used either the or encodings. IBM used code point 9D for the ¥ and this encoding was also used by several other computer systems.In, of which is an extension, the yen sign has the same byte value (0x5C) as the in.

This standard was widely adopted.Japanese-language locales of Microsoft operating systems use the character encoding, which is a variant of Shift JIS. Hence, 0x5C is displayed as a yen sign in Japanese-locale fonts on Windows. It is nonetheless used wherever a backslash is used, such as the character (for example, in C:¥) and as the general ( ¥n). It is mapped onto the Unicode U+005C REVERSE SOLIDUS (i.e. Backslash), while Unicode U+00A5 YEN SIGN is given a one-way 'best fit' mapping to 0x5C in code page 932, and 0x5C is displayed as a backslash in Microsoft's documentation for code page 932, essentially making it a backslash given the appearance of a yen sign by localized fonts.The ¥ is assigned code point B2 in and many other EBCDIC code pages.Chinese IME Under Chinese such as those from or, typing '$' displays the character '¥', which is different from '¥' used in Japanese IMEs.Notes.
