₶ Tournois Symbol
U+20B6₶Meaning & Explanation
This is a very rare historical currency symbol known as the Livre Tournois sign, which represented a specific type of silver coin, the livre, that was used in the Tours region of France. It primarily appears in ancient financial documents, historical ledgers, or academic texts on monetary history from the 18th century and earlier, and it has no modern usage. This symbol is a small piece of evidence of France's complex monetary history, reflecting a time when regions had their own currency systems. It belongs to the same category as other obsolete currency symbols like the pound sign £ or the Spanish peseta ₧, serving as a relic of economic history.
Usage Examples
"₶ was commonly used in medieval documents to represent the Tournois."
"This silver coin bears the ₶ symbol."
