If the symbol is used for only one currency (eg €) or widely recognized as being a given currency (eg £): -Use that symbol in root. -If it wouldn't be recognized in particular countries or among particular language users, in those locales/countries use the international currency code (eg EUR) or another replacement (see below).

For example, the localized value of Canadian dollars in US English would likely be "CA$".

Meanwhile showing Bermudan dollar in Sweden, using ISO code "BMD" might be better than "$BM" since it's not a commonly referenced currency. This is an area where you need to think localization, more than translation. -Note : It is not necessary to specify ISO 4217 codes (e.g. "USD") as the symbol merely to ensure that they are available to CLDR clients who want to use them; a developer who specifically wants to use the ISO codes (say, in a table of currency transactions) can get those elsewhere in CLDR, there is no need to "translate" them in a locale. This symbol field is meant for showing an amount with a commonly recognizable and understandable currency designation. -Warnings: -- Never use the same symbol for two different currencies. If "$" is used for USD, it cannot also be used for AUD. -- This is one of the areas where the country matters. USD is $ in the default English (which is for US), and other dollar symbols are qualified (AU$, C$, ...).

When using narrow currency symbols, it it assumed that the context is well known, so it is not necessary for the narrow currency symbol to be unique. In the example of where Swedish used "Dkr" for Danish krona above, you may use this field for just "kr", and assume that context in its usage will make up for the lack of distinction. -Note: It can be the same as currency-symbol.
