Guarani Sign

Guarani Sign at U+20B2 denotes the currency sign for the Paraguayan guaraní, the official money of Paraguay. It is part of the Currency Symbols block and functions like a compact monetary marker placed with amounts, similar in role to dollar, euro, or peso signs. Its main use is in prices, accounting, invoices, exchange-rate tables, and financial reporting for Paraguay. A store label, budget line, or bank statement may show an amount such as ₲ 150.000 to mean one hundred fifty thousand guaraníes, following local digit-grouping conventions. In international contexts, the ISO currency code PYG is often preferred because it is unambiguous across systems and easier to support in plain financial data. The dedicated sign is still useful in typography, local publications, spreadsheets, and interfaces aimed at Paraguayan users, where it gives amounts a familiar national currency form. This sign can be confused at a glance with a capital G plus a stroke in fonts that render it plainly, so searchable financial records may use both the symbol and the currency code when clarity matters.
