The letter was chosen, derived from the English name of the Dirham, to serve as an international symbol representing the nation’s currency
The Central Bank of the UAE, on Thursday, unveiled the new symbol for the national currency in its physical and digital forms.
The symbol was derived from the English name of the dirham to serve as an international symbol representing the nation’s currency, incorporating two horizontal lines that embody the stability of the UAE dirham and inspired by the UAE flag, to enhance financial and monetary stability.
On the other hand, the digital dirham symbol features a circle surrounding the physical currency symbol, using the colours of the UAE flag to reflect pride and national identity. The symbol’s choice shows the national currency’s global reach, openness to a more prosperous future and commitment to developing an innovative local financial ecosystem with a global perspective.
Inspired by national identity
The pointed curves are inspired by the classical Arabic calligraphy, where scripts such as Thuluth and Diwani often features sharp, sweeping endings that express both grace and authority.Rooted in the UAE’s national identity, this concept reimagines the lines of the flag, seamlessly integrating them into the design of the letter “D” for dirham.
