Peso Sign Copy Paste (₱) — and the Word, Excel & Keyboard Shortcut

The peso sign ₱ has no key on any standard Philippine keyboard, so copy paste is how most people type it. Tap the ₱ block above to copy it in one click, then jump to the section you need — Word, Excel, your keyboard, or your phone.

Peso Sign in Word

The fastest way to get the peso sign in Word is to copy it from the ₱ block above and paste with Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on Mac). To type it again without copying, set up an AutoCorrect: go to File → Options → Proofing → AutoCorrect Options, type a shortcut like (p) in the "Replace" box, paste ₱ into the "With" box, and click Add. From then on, typing (p)inserts ₱ automatically in any Word document.

Peso Sign in Excel

Copy ₱ from the block above and paste it into a cell, a formula, or a number format. Because ₱ is a real Unicode character (U+20B1), it works inside =CONCATENATE,="₱"&TEXT(A1,"#,##0.00"), and custom currency formats. For a permanent peso currency format, select your cells, press Ctrl+1, choose Custom, and enter₱ #,##0.00 as the format string.

Windows — With a Numeric Keypad

Hold Alt and type 8369 on the numeric keypad → ₱. Num Lock must be on, and the digits have to be typed on the numpad, not the number row. If that doesn't work, try Alt+20B1.

Windows — No Numpad (Most Laptops)

  1. Copy from above — tap the key, then paste with Ctrl+V.
  2. On-Screen Keyboard — open it, click Fn to reveal the numpad overlay, then click the Alt+8369 sequence.
  3. Character Map — search "peso", double-click the ₱ character, click Copy, then paste.

Mac

macOS has no built-in shortcut for ₱. Copy it from the tool above, or open the Character Viewer with Control+Command+Space, type "peso", and double-click ₱.

Google Docs

Go to Insert → Special characters, type "peso", and click ₱. This works the same on Windows, Mac, and Chromebook, since it's built into Docs rather than the operating system.

Phone (iPhone and Android)

Neither platform has a dedicated ₱ key. Copy ₱ from the tool above — it works in mobile browsers — and paste it into Messages, Notes, or any app. Gboard custom shortcuts exist, but availability varies by phone.

Chromebook

Same limitation as Mac — copying from the tool above is the most consistent method.

Why doesn't the peso sign have a standard keyboard key like the dollar sign does?
The dollar sign is baked into the US layout by design. ₱ never made it onto any standard international layout, even though it's been Unicode-encoded for years — it's a layout gap, not a technical limitation.
