Won sign in Word

[Meindert]

Good day,

Currently I am writing a report about the business structures in South
Korea. For this report I want to make use of the Euro (European currencies)
and the Won (South Korean currencies) sign.

The problem is that I can not find the Won sign in Word, does anybody know
if the Won sign comes with the standard Word package or do I need to download
some extra symbols (and if so where can I do this)?

Thank you very much for your reply!

Although you won't find it in standard fonts such as Times New Roman and
Arial, you can find it at 20A9 (in the Currency Symbols character subset) in
Arial Unicode MS or Lucida Sans Unicode. Those fonts may not be installed by
default, and if you don't want to install them, or prefer to have the symbol
match your current font, you could use an overstrike field to combine a
capital W and an equals sign; see
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/CombineCharacters.htm. If you choose the
latter approach, instead of an equals sign, a better candidate for combining
would be character 2017, Double Low Line, at a larger point size and
formatted as "raised" by whatever amount is required to get it to the right
position.

See also http://www.xe.com/symbols.php, which offers a shareware font that
includes multiple currency symbols. For more on Unicode support of these
symbols, see http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/currency_symbols.html.
