What does the Japanese Yen Sign (¥) Mean?

Currency symbols are as old as cash itself, and they tell traders what medium of exchange they’re dealing in. The currency symbol allows countries all over the world to shorten different forms of exchange. Symbols serve as abbreviations, or codes, for each currency. Japan uses the Japanese Yen Sign (¥).

In 1871, the Meiji government adopted the Japanese Yen as Japan’s modern currency unit, replacing the previous complex monetary system where Japan’s fiefs had incompatible denominations. The Bank of Japan controls it.

The Japanese Yen sign is 1.5 grams of gold or 24.26 grams of silver. And the Japanese Yen sign is usually placed before the value, like ¥100.

Because of its history of zero rates, the Japanese Yen is a popular funding currency. It is the third-most traded currency in the world after the US Dollar and the Euro.
