How to get currency symbol for thailand using RegionInfo

Question

at the moment I am using region info to get currency symbol.

For other countries it seems to work fine

var info= new RegionInfo("THB");
var currency = info.CurrencySymbol;

currency ends up being THB instead of ฿

May I ask how do I get the correct currency symbol or why it's returning THB instead of ฿

I've tried what others suggested, putting "TH", same outcome unfortunately.

`var currency = new RegionInfo("TH").CurrencySymbol;` `THB` is not the region but the `ISOCurrencySymbol`. — Jimi, Apr 09 '20 at 04:01
can you please add screen shot also without the debug pane, I wonder if you are doing something different because that code works on me. — curiousBoy, Apr 09 '20 at 05:18
@Master - I am pretty sure that is due to some region settings. — curiousBoy, Apr 09 '20 at 05:30

RegionInfo get the Name in it. And the name for Thailand is "TH". "THB" is the ISOCurrencySymbol

This should work:

var info= new RegionInfo("TH");    
var currency = info.CurrencySymbol;

If still not working, check your region settings on your machine to make sure you are not overwriting anything. .

Maybe I should of tagged xamarin, maybe it's diff on phones? – Master Apr 09 '20 at 05:29
can you also try with String.Format("{0:C}", info.CurrencySymbol) ? – curiousBoy Apr 09 '20 at 05:34
