convert currency names to currency symbol [closed]

Answer 1

Do this:

var currency_symbols = {
    'USD': '$', // US Dollar
    'EUR': '€', // Euro
    'CRC': '₡', // Costa Rican Colón
    'GBP': '£', // British Pound Sterling
    'ILS': '₪', // Israeli New Sheqel
    'INR': '₹', // Indian Rupee
    'JPY': '¥', // Japanese Yen
    'KRW': '₩', // South Korean Won
    'NGN': '₦', // Nigerian Naira
    'PHP': '₱', // Philippine Peso
    'PLN': 'zł', // Polish Zloty
    'PYG': '₲', // Paraguayan Guarani
    'THB': '฿', // Thai Baht
    'UAH': '₴', // Ukrainian Hryvnia
    'VND': '₫', // Vietnamese Dong
};

var currency_name = 'INR';

if(currency_symbols[currency_name]!==undefined) {
    alert(currency_symbols[currency_name]);
}

NOTE: Not every currency has symbol. Only listed above currencies have real symbol.

Answer 2

You could use a JSON to match the code with the symbol, here is a JSON to do so: https://gist.github.com/Fluidbyte/2973986

Fiddle

var data = {
// the json I gave you above
}
var code = $('input').val();
// the input which contains the code
$.each(data, function(i, v){
    if(i === code){
        $('#result').html(v.symbol);
        // #result is an empty tag which receive the symbol
        return;
    }
});
