The Yen symbol (¥) represents the official currency of Japan, known as the Japanese Yen. It is one of the most widely recognized currency symbols in the world and is commonly used in international trade, finance, and foreign exchange markets. The ISO currency code for the Japanese Yen is JPY, but the ¥ symbol is frequently used in prices, accounting, and everyday transactions.

The Yen symbol originates from the Roman letter “Y” with two horizontal lines, symbolizing stability and value. Interestingly, the same symbol (¥) is also used for the Chinese Yuan, although the currencies are different. In digital systems, the Yen symbol is encoded as U+00A5 in Unicode, making it easy to use across websites, mobile apps, and financial platforms
