Common Mistakes
⚠️
Mistake: Confusing ¥ (yen) with Ұ (Cyrillic letter)
Fix: Use ¥ (¥) for Japanese yen or Chinese yuan. The Cyrillic letter Ұ looks similar but is a different character.
⚠️
Mistake: Using Y or JPY instead of the ¥ symbol
Fix: JPY is the ISO currency code. For display, use ¥ for the symbol. In Japanese, the kanji 円 is also used.
