Add remaining currency symbols, deprecate franc #59
Conversation
Add all relevant rupee symbols. I used "taka" for the bangladeshi rupee sign, since that is the name of the currency. "rupee.indian" is placed at the top of the list to avoid breaking changes. It's also the most widely used.
As far as I can gather, these are all extant symbols in unicode for currencies that are actively in use. Exceptions: - The "colon", used in costa rica - The gujarati rupee sign, as it has been proposed deprecated

I purposely avoided adding symbol names for currencies no longer in active use. |
|
Thoughts on also adding U+00A4 ¤ CURRENCY SIGN as |
I did consider that, but it seems to be a legacy symbol. Is it actually used? |
|
What about putting currencies under a module so that you can import what you need? |
I don't think there are any plans to have more categories than general symbols and emojis. In any case I think that would be a discussion not really specific to this PR? Edit: Also see the discussion under @mkorje 's comment |
|
Reading the Unicode core spec, there's also the Som Sign U+20C0 ⃀, the official currency symbol of the Kyrgyz Republic. |
Good spot. I must've looked at outdated lists. I'll add it. |
|
I added the Kyrgysz currency and changed the name of the Mongolian currency. However, I think @laurmaedje would have to make the decision of whether we should add the additional aliases "yuan" (to yen), "peso" (and rename "peso" to "peso.phillipine") and "pataca" (to dollar). |
|
I added the aliases we discussed. The "pataca" is very obscure, but is also unlikely to conflict with anything. |
|
I'm wondering if |
