Summary
Copy the Nigerian naira symbol (₦) and find its Unicode value, HTML entity, and keyboard shortcut for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
How it works
- Click the large ₦ symbol to copy the plain character to your clipboard.
- Or click any row in the Formats list to copy that exact encoded form (Unicode, HTML entity, URL encoding).
- Check the keyboard shortcut table for your OS to type the symbol directly instead of copy-pasting.
- Use the "Try it" box to format an amount as an NGN price, with or without decimal kobo.
Use cases
- Insert ₦ into a price when your keyboard has no dedicated naira key.
- Format a price for a Nigerian audience with a leading ₦ and comma thousands separator.
- Paste the HTML entity ₦ when a raw ₦ gets mangled by legacy page encoding.
- Escape ₦ as %E2%82%A6 in a URL query string or API request.
- Label an invoice or pricing table in NGN without retyping the symbol each time.
- Type ₦ on Windows or Mac when there is no built-in keyboard key for it.
