The French Franc Sign (₣) represents the historical currency of France, used before the country adopted the euro in 2002. It typically features a capital letter "F" crossed by a single horizontal stroke to distinguish it from a standard letter. Today, this symbol is primarily found in historical archives, financial literature, and typography referencing legacy monetary values in francophone regions.
