I need quick solution to convert currency names to currency symbols.

Like I have GBP which I want to convert into Pound symbol through small javascript/jquery code. Data is totally dynamic.

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

};

I can't use any plugin like currenyformat.

Looking for quick help.

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.
