Other currency symbols
₮ lives in the Currency Symbols block (U+20A0-U+20CF), currency signs added after Latin-1, including the euro. Within Unicode it is classified as Sc, a currency symbol. Formatting libraries recognise it when rendering money. Its bidirectional class makes it a European number terminator, so it sits beside a number without breaking its direction.
What Unicode says about Mongolian Tugrik
Unicode annotates ₮ directly. Against U+20AE the code chart carries the note “Mongolia”. It adds: also transliterated as tugrug, tugric, tugrog, togrog, tögrög. That is the standard saying what the character is for, rather than an inference from its name.
How Mongolian Tugrik behaves in software
₮ takes one column in a terminal. It carries no direction of its own, so in a line that mixes English with Arabic or Hebrew it takes the direction of the text around it rather than forcing one.
