The Bangladeshi taka sign (৳) is the currency symbol for the Bangladeshi taka (ISO 4217: BDT), the official currency of Bangladesh. The sign has been a part of unicode since version 1.0 owing to usage in historical texts.[1] The international three-letter currency code for the Bangladeshi taka is BDT.[2]
Design
The design is morphed from the Bangla letter "ট" of the word "টাকা", meaning money.
Unicode
The symbol has been present from the first version of unicode as the fourth Bengali currency symbol.[3]
On systems running Ubuntu, most other Linux distributions and ChromeOS, the symbol may be typed using (or simply if the 'Bengali' language setting is used).
