Talk:Yen and yuan sign

message: Eleven years later but an update in case anyone reads this for the answer: Windows users need to be aware that it contains a trap for the unwary. Because Windows still uses code pages, the answer will depend on which code-page you have loaded in effect, where in the world you are as well as which app you are using. , here is a long (and not really resolved) discussion at talk:Unicode input#Decimal input (Windows). --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 11:24, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

message: In what sense are 元 and 円 the same character?  In Japanese, 元 Chinese yuan and 円 Japanese yen.  They're two different characters with distinct and non-overlapping meanings.  (The third character 圓 appears not to be used in Japanese, according to WWWJDIC.)  I believe a Chinese reader may have been generalising, but I'm not going to fix this myself because I don't know how to phrase this in a way that's accurate for both character sets.--62.58.152.52 (talk) 11:02, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Same character? Really? 

message: I'm not sure how the referenced article confirms the official status of the single-stroke 'yuan' sign for representing the Renminbi. Yes, it displays as a single-stroke 'yuan' on the webpage itself, but that is due to the font used; in the references it is displayed as a double-stroke 'yuan' on my browser. Furthermore, there is no image file attached to that page that could clear the matter up. 220.255.2.159 (talk) 15:05, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  'Official' status of the single-stroke 'yuan' sign? 

message: Shouldn't the description of this barcode / price label say from China not from Hong Kong. A quick websearch of the barcode number shows that the item the barcode belongs to is a greeting / Christmas card from China. Also the description on the image file itself says 'Chinese bar code, CNY9'. Troll-Life (talk) 04:19, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

message: This article could be improved by adding information about history of the symbol. I haven't been able to find out much more than "The symbol for the Japanese yen was probably invented by analogy with the pound and dollar symbols, as it is a capital Y with one or two bars across it."  Can anyone else help shed light on this? Gareth Jones (talk) 12:01, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Well who cares indeed? When there is s risk of confusion, the three letter codes JPY and CNR are used. Locally, each uses a different symbol anyway, in the local script. The ¥ sign is probably redundant but, well, history. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 07:32, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  History 

message: I notice at renminbi, the symbol  is also used but the usage is unclear to me (who lives on the other side of the world) what its status is. Can anyone explain? Should it go in the infobox alongside ¥? --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 15:37, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
