Ruble sign Symbol

The Ruble sign (₽) is the official currency symbol of the Russian ruble, used to represent the national currency of Russia. It is encoded in Unicode at U+20BD and falls under the "Currency Symbols" block. The symbol is a stylized Cyrillic capital letter "Р" (equivalent to "R"), crossed by a horizontal stroke to distinguish it as a monetary unit.
The Ruble sign was formally adopted by the Central Bank of Russia in December 2013 after a public poll. It was added to the Unicode Standard in version 7.0 in 2014, enabling digital platforms worldwide to render the symbol consistently.
The Ruble sign's design is clean and modern, aligning with global currency standards while reflecting Cyrillic heritage. The horizontal stroke through the letter "Р" communicates stability and financial identity, similar to how the dollar ($) or yen (¥) signs include strokes.
The Ruble sign is widely supported on most modern devices, including Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS. Font support is common in typefaces such as Arial, Times New Roman, Roboto, and Noto Sans.
