Cruzeiro sign | |
In Unicode | U+20A2 ₢ CRUZEIRO SIGN |
The Cruzeiro sign (₢) is a typographical abbreviation or ligature consisting of a capital Latin letter "C" with a nested lower-case letter "r", connected in a single glyph.
This glyph occasionally replaced the "Cr" part of the currency symbol for the first Brazilian cruzeiro, created in 1942, whose official symbol was "Cr $" (two separate letters, a space, and a single-stroke dollar sign). It could also have been used for other Brazilian currencies called "cruzeiro" that were official in 1942–1986 and 1990–1993.[1]
Some typewriters[2][1] and cash registers[citation needed] produced for the Brazilian market had『₢』keys, and it was available in some typefaces.[citation needed]
The symbol was included in the first iteration of the Unicode standard (name "CRUZEIRO SIGN", code point U+20A2).
