The won sign (₩) is a currency symbol that represents:
And in fiction:
- Woolong, a fictional currency in Cowboy Bebop
- Kinzcash, a fictional form of currency in the online game Webkinz
[edit] Computing
The directory separator character also appears on Korean versions of Microsoft Windows as ₩, because ₩ occupies the same position (0x5C) on code page 949 that backslash occupies in ASCII.[1]
[edit] Unicode
The Unicode code point for ₩ is U+20A9; it can be represented in non-unicode HTML as ₩.
Additionally, there is a full-width won sign: ￦ at code point U+FFE6 for use with wide fonts (esp. east Asian fonts).
