The Currency Symbol Extractor scans a block of text and tallies every currency symbol it contains, producing a table that pairs each symbol with its currency name and the number of times it appears. Rather than reading a long document to work out which currencies are mentioned, you get an instant, sorted overview of the monetary symbols present and how common each one is.
It recognises a wide range of symbols beyond the common dollar, euro, and pound, including the yen, won, ruble, lira, shekel, baht, hryvnia, naira, and cent signs. This makes it useful for auditing international pricing pages, cleaning up multi-currency exports, checking translated content, or simply understanding the currency mix inside a report before you dig into the numbers themselves.
Everything runs locally in your browser using JavaScript, so nothing is uploaded and no account is needed. Paste your text, and the tool immediately builds the symbol tally along with totals for how many unique symbols and total occurrences it found. Because the work stays on your device, confidential commercial documents remain completely private.

- Pairs each symbol with a human-readable currency name for clarity.
- Counts how many times each symbol appears and sorts the table by frequency.

How to use Currency Symbol Extractor
- Paste the text you want to audit into the input box on the left.
- Leave live mode on, or click Count symbols, to scan for currency signs.

Benefits
- Quickly reveals which currencies a long document actually references.
- Helps localisation teams confirm the right currency symbols are present.
- Flags unexpected symbols that may indicate copy-paste or formatting errors.
- Gives a frequency ranking so the primary currency is obvious at a glance.
- Keeps commercial content private because nothing is uploaded anywhere.
- Saves time versus manually searching a document for each possible symbol.
The tool counts symbols wherever they occur, whether or not a number follows them, which makes it different from the Price Extractor that requires an amount. That means a lone euro sign in a heading is still counted, giving you a true picture of every currency reference in the text. The results are sorted by frequency so the most-used symbol sits at the top of the table.
This is especially handy when preparing multi-region content, reconciling exports that mix currencies, or spot-checking a translation where the currency should have changed but the number did not. If you also need the actual amounts, run the same text through the Price Extractor; if you want to pull the numbers on their own, use the Number Extractor. All three run offline in your browser for full privacy.
