Essential Currency Code Reference Table and Quick Input Guide for Traders
Why Do Traders Need to Recognize Currency Symbols?
When trading forex, you’ll frequently encounter various currency symbols. Quickly identifying symbols like €、£、¥ can help you instantly determine which country’s currency pair is involved. For example, seeing € immediately indicates Euro-related pairs, such as EUR/USD or EUR/JPY. This not only saves time but also reduces operational errors.
Simply put, currency symbols are a visual shorthand system. Writing $40 is much faster than writing 40 US dollars, and reading efficiency is greatly improved. For traders who need to react quickly, this is fundamental.

Three Confusing Currency Symbols
The Dual Identity of ￥
The “￥” symbol is used by two countries in Asia—Japan uses it for Yen (JPY), while China uses it for Renminbi (CNY). To avoid confusion, it’s best to write as CNY￥100 (meaning 100 RMB) or JPY￥100 (meaning 100 Yen).
The $ Symbol Around the World
Seeing “$” often makes people think of US Dollars. In reality, over 30 countries use this symbol. Common examples include:
฿ Symbol’s Cross-Border Usage
The “฿” symbol traditionally represents the Thai Baht in forex trading, but in digital assets, it also denotes Bitcoin. Context is key to understanding its meaning.
Understanding Forex Currency Pairs
The core of forex trading is currency pairs, which reflect the exchange rate between two different currencies. For example, EUR/USD is the price of Euro relative to US Dollar, GBP/JPY is the price of British Pound relative to Japanese Yen.
Taking USD/GBP as an example, this ratio tells you how many British Pounds you get for 1 US Dollar. In the formula, USD is called the base currency, and GBP is the quote currency. Traders buy or sell one currency to exchange for another, seeking profit from exchange rate fluctuations.
Mastering the currency code table is the first step to successful forex trading. These seemingly simple symbols and codes are vital languages connecting the global financial markets.
