incorrect currency symbol displayed

For a sec, I was thinking this might be a Win7 issue. However, I have not had any problem with other web sites that use the Chinese Yuan symbol. So this may not be an OS related issue.

Hi Ismael,

It is already in the woocommerce-core-functions.php file.

”
case ‘USD’ :
$currency_symbol = ‘$’;
break;
case ‘EUR’ :
$currency_symbol = ‘€’;
break;
case ‘CNY’ :
case ‘RMB’ :
case ‘JPY’ :
$currency_symbol = ‘¥’;
break;

”
As I mentioned in the previous posts, the Yuan shows correctly in iPad, Android tablet and from linux machines. but not from win 7 at least. I tried FF, IE and Chrome from win 7, all showed Japanese Yen instead of Chinese Yuan.

Ismael,

Cache is not the problem here. I have cleaned it numerous times but it just shows Japanese Yen in Win 7. Another friend also told me the same, linux and ipad are okay but not from his Win 7.

thanks,

Yigit,

What changes do I need to undo and redo in the functions.php file?

Thanks,

Hi Yigit,

I tried to follow your instructions but it still shows Japanese Yen on the site.

Here is the code that I added,

add_filter( 'woocommerce_currencies', 'add_my_currency' );
 
function add_my_currency( $currencies ) {
     $currencies['ABC'] = __( 'Chinese Yuan', 'woocommerce' );
     return $currencies;
}
 
add_filter('woocommerce_currency_symbol', 'add_my_currency_symbol', 10, 2);
 
function add_my_currency_symbol( $currency_symbol, $currency ) {
     switch( $currency ) {
          case 'ABC': $currency_symbol = '¥'; break;
     }
     return $currency_symbol;
}

BTW, I have no problem to see the “Chinese Yuan” symbol at the site you gave me which is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C2%A5. I think it’s pretty safe to say that it’s not a browser issue since tested that link in IE, Chrome and FF on Win 7. The exact same os and browsers that show Japanese yen at our site.

One interesting finding though is that when I created a product in Chinese (product title, description etc. in Chinese) but had “Language of this product” marked as “English”, go to “View Product” would give me a page on which the currency symbol of the product is displayed in Chinese Yuan. And that’s the only way to have a Chinese Yuan displayed, on a product page. The pricing table and html text would still display Japanese Yen.

And that’s without adding the custom woocommerce code you provided from above.

Thanks,

Yigit,

Yes, I used the HTML code but that didn’t help.

Let’s go ahead and close this thread. I will just have to get used to it.

Thanks again to you and everyone who helped me on this issue. Really appreciate it.

Thank you,
