What is the Unicode code point for the dong symbol?

The dong sign is U+20AB, officially named DONG SIGN, in the Currency Symbols block.

Is there a Windows Alt code for the dong symbol?

Not a classic one. Alt codes like Alt+0128 for the euro come from the Windows-1252 code page, which does not include the dong sign. Instead, type 20AB then press Alt+X in Word, or use the Windows symbol panel (Win + .) and search "dong".

How do I type ₫ on a Mac?

The dong sign is not on a standard Mac keyboard layout, including the Vietnamese layout. Open Character Viewer with Control+Command+Space and search "dong", or switch to the Unicode Hex Input source and type Option+20AB.

What is the HTML entity for the dong symbol?

There is no short named entity like €. Use the numeric entity ₫ or the hex form ₫, both render the same ₫ character in HTML.

Does the Vietnamese keyboard layout have a dedicated dong key?

No. The standard Vietnamese Telex and VNI input methods are built for adding tone marks to Latin letters; neither maps a key to the dong sign, so typing it always relies on one of the shortcuts above or copy-paste.

Does the dong price formatter show decimals?

No. The dong has no subunit in everyday use (the old hao and xu subdivisions are obsolete), so prices are always shown and grouped as whole numbers.
