U+17DB Khmer Currency Symbol Riel

U+17DB was added in Unicode version 3.0 in 1999. It belongs to the block U+1780 to U+17FF Khmer in the U+0000 to U+FFFF Basic Multilingual Plane.

This character is a Currency Symbol and is mainly used in the Khmer script.

The glyph is not a composition. It has no designated width in East Asian texts. In bidirectional text it is written as end of a European number, e.g., a currency symbol, from left to right. When changing direction it is not mirrored. U+17DB prohibits a line break after it, if it is followed by a number.

The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:

The riel (; Khmer: រៀល, romanized: riĕl [riəl]; sign: ៛; code: KHR) is the currency of Cambodia. There have been two distinct riel, the first issued between 1953 and May 1975. Between 1975 and 1980, the country had no monetary system. A second currency, also named "riel", has been issued since 20 March 1980. Since the late 1990s, the riel has had an unofficial fixed exchange rate of 4,100:1 with United States dollar, Cambodia's second de facto currency for commercial transactions.

Popular belief suggests that the name of the currency comes from the Mekong river fish riĕl ("small fish" in Khmer). It is more likely that it derives from the high-silver content Spanish-American dollar, whose value is eight reales, a coin widely used for international trade in Asia and the Americas from the 16th to 19th centuries.
