For the last time  There is a huge difference between using "Naira as Cut and Paste" and using "Naira as Currency Symbol" in a spreadsheet (ie MS Excel) See below! Seun, I thought the Subject is "Naira Sign On A Keyboard?" The answer is yes, right?  |

why using cut and paste to put naira sign on. there is no naira on keyboard 'cos we dont make keyboards in nigeria....there's one now making making keyboard with yoruba vowels signs including gb and ş, may be they have naira sign on it. All this because people can't cut and paste!  this is dumb, why do we need to cut and paste simple naira sign since you can type directly. cut and paste is for volumes of sentences. |

For the last time, again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THERE IS A NIGERIAN KEYBOARD WITH NAIRA SIGN KEYCAP, in fact the keybaord has Naira, Dollar, Euro and Pound signs. Including all the extended latin alphabets and tonal marks for all Nigerian Languages. Now you guys are making me sound like a salesperson for this company, but that is OK, I have the keyboard and I love it to death. The Nigerian Keyboard with Naira keycap is called KỌNYIN NIGERIA MULTILINGUAL KEYBOARD. You can buy one at: http://www.konyin.comGosh, this company should be paying me for my comments on this site. |

The Konyin keyboard is not just To get the Naira sign, its a multilingual keyboard which allows you to type in English and many other languages, so it can replace your normal keyboard completely. If you are getting a new PC, specify a Konyin keyboard to get the additional functions. It is not that expensive anyway at $35 for the cheapest model.
I like to write in Yoruba to my folks at home, and with the Konyin keyboard, this is a dream. Some Nigerians can't even speak their own language, not to talk of writing a letter in it, therefore I am not surprised that some people see the keyboard as a waste of time.
This guy who developed the Konyin keyboard has made use of his knowledge of his local language to develop something that might make him very rich, bacause he had bothered to learn and respect his own local languages. Kudos to him!

Getting the naira symbol is simple.
If you think you need to get a keyboard before u accomplish that, that is pure ignorance.
On Microsoft word, or any windows word application, you highlight the character "N", right click on it, go to the fonts option and click on double strike through. that should do the trick.
Unless you need the other functions of the keyboard which would be famous for supporting all other nigerian languages.
Good luck with purchasing people,

To use the NAIRA Sign and display it on browsers other than Internet explorer.if you are using mozilla firefox or opera add this to your meta tag, make such you use the tahoma , Lucindan Unicode on type.
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /><style type="text/css">
<!--
.naira{font-family:Tahoma,Arial Unicode MS,Lucida Sans Unicode}
</head>
<body>
<span class="naira">₦</span>
</body>

How nice of you all, some smart suggestions, some not so smart and some down right silly! () funny, I dont even have the silly one on my keyboard. Any how I think Koyin is a good solution but as with all things, to succeed, they need government backing. FRN should ban all imported keyboards and replace with Koyin, then success! They will first of all have to give out all the necesary kick backs though. |

</html> @osagab: that's a very clever solution. Thanks! I think you also need to enable UTF-8 encoding in your editor. |
