Thai Baht Sign
About Thai Baht Sign
฿ is called the "Thai Baht Sign", the symbolic representation of Thailand's official currency——the Thai Baht. The currency code for the Thai Baht is THB.
The Thai Baht is the legal tender of Thailand. The ฿ symbol originates from the Thai word "บาท" (Baht), meaning "one Baht", which was an ancient weight unit used in Thailand.
【Historical Origin】The history of the Thai Baht can be traced back to the Sukhothai Kingdom period (13th century), when silver coins were used as currency. "Baht" itself was a unit of weight, with 1 Baht equaling approximately 15 grams of silver. The modern Thai Baht symbol ฿ began to be used in the mid-20th century. It shares the same character as the Bitcoin symbol and must be differentiated based on context.
【Modern Status】The Thai Baht (THB) is one of the most important currencies in Southeast Asia and holds a significant position in the Asian foreign exchange market. Thailand is a world-renowned tourist destination, and the Thai Baht is widely circulated in tourism and trade. Currently, 1 Baht equals 100 Satang.
