The yen sign looks like this:
¥

The yen symbol generally comes before the number, and there’s no space in between. So when you’re writing a sum of money such as 1000 yen, you’d write it like this: ¥1000.
However, you might also occasionally see the yen symbol written after the number.
On the foreign exchange market, the Japanese yen is abbreviated to JPY. So if you’re converting currency or buying travel money, this is the three-letter code to look for.
If you’re visiting Japan, you may also see the kanji symbol of 円 used to represent the yen.
