円: En in Japanese but westernized as Yen due to the character being pronounced "yan" in Mandarin. It's a Japanese simplification of 圓, which means round in Chinese: Chinese coins were round in ancient China. The Chinese later substituted 圓 with another character with the same pronunciation but is also simpler to write: 元 to mean "denomination" concerning international currencies. And '''币*''' (幣 = Traditional Chinese) = currency.

*Simplified Chinese form of 幣.
