Is the Lari Sign an emoji?
No. ₾ is a text symbol, not an emoji. It takes the color and size of the surrounding text, and its exact shape depends on the font.
Why does the Lari Sign show as a box or question mark?
An empty box or a question mark means the font on that device has no glyph for ₾. The character is still there: it appears correctly wherever a font covers Unicode’s Currency Symbols block, and free font families such as Google Noto cover nearly all of Unicode. Because it was added in 2015, older phones and computers are the most likely to be missing it.
What are the HTML and CSS codes for the Lari Sign?
In HTML, write ₾ (decimal) or ₾ (hexadecimal). In CSS, use content: "\20BE"; in a ::before or ::after rule, and in JavaScript "\u20BE". See all HTML codes.
