The ₺ symbol is the official currency sign for the Turkish lira, the primary currency of Turkey and Northern Cyprus. Introduced in 2012 following a nationwide design contest, the character cleverly blends the letters "T" and "L" into an anchor-like shape to symbolize a safe financial harbor. It is widely used in digital platforms, e-commerce, and financial applications to denote prices, typically placed directly before the numerical value (e.g., ₺100).
