Is there a way to type special unicode characters, or more specifically foreign currency sumbols, on an iPhone or iPad?

I mean symbols like ¥ (Yen), ฿ (Bitcoin or Thai Baht), ₩ (Korean Won) etc.

I'm just using a normal english iOS 9. How can I type those e.g. when writing an email or Telegram message or when submitting info on a website?

  • @bmike yes, in this case I'm actually curious about these specific symbols: ฿, ₩, and the letter ł ("L with stroke") for the Polish Zloty symbol "zł".

  • The Zloty is on the polish keyboard. I'll answer for all the currencies.

You get all the currency symbols except the Baht for free on the US keyboard.

Press and hold the $ symbol and you'll see all the alternates.

To get the Baht symbol - add the thai keyboard and the Baht symbol will be added to the US keyboard. You don't need to switch to that keyboard - just add it. Similarly, you can use this answer to make shortcuts if you please for often used symbols if changing a keyboard is too long for your needs.
