The hryvnia sign () is a currency symbol, used for the Ukrainian hryvnia currency since 2004.

Description[edit]

The hryvnia sign is a cursive minuscule Ukrainian Cyrillic letter He (г), or a mirrored letter S, with a double horizontal stroke, symbolising stability, similar to that used in other currency symbols such as ¥ or €. Hryvnia is abbreviated "грн" (hrn) in Ukrainian. The hryvnia sign ₴ was released in March 2004.[1]

The specific design of the hryvnia sign was a result of a public contest held by the National Bank of Ukraine in 2003.[2][3] The bank announced that it would not take any special steps of promoting the sign, but expressed expectations that the recognition and the technical possibilities of rendering the sign would follow. As soon as the sign was announced, a proposal to encode it was written. The sign is Unicode encoded as U+20B4 HRYVNIA SIGN since version 4.1 (2005). The symbol appears in the filigree of the 1 hryvnia and the recently introduced 1,000 hryven banknote.

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
