I recently had to integrate html escape characters for currency symbols on a project, and much to my surprise I could not find any good definitive list html escape characters for currency codes. These are also known as escape characters, character entities or extended characters.  I had to find them all more or less one by one.  Here is what I came up with. For some reason WordPress is not letting me post the escape characters as escape characters, so I have attached a simple text file containing a list of 64 html escape characters for currency symbols. Hopefully this will save someone else 45 minutes.

Here is what is in the file – it is in the Name – Abbreviation – Symbol format.
