About the new sheqel sign symbol

Representing the official currency of Israel, the New Sheqel Sign is an interlocking typographic combination of two Hebrew letters, shin and het. It is widely read as the Israeli Shekel or simply the shekel. Belonging to the Currency Symbols block, the character serves as a standard shorthand for the New Israeli Shekel (NIS), which replaced the previous currency of the same name.

Usage of this symbol is standard across various economic and commercial settings within the region. It appears frequently on retail price tags, digital product listings, and corporate financial statements. Beyond business contexts, the sign is commonly found in software localized for Hebrew speakers, as well as on public signage and official government documents. It is typically placed before or after numerical values to denote legal tender in both physical and digital transactions.
