February 25, 2019Magento 2, PHP

How can I get current currency symbol from Mangeto 2 template file programmatically.

You can use storeManager to get current currency code and retrieve the currency object. Then use method – getCurrencySymbol to get currency symbol.

$objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance(); 
$storeManager = $objectManager->get('\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterfa‌ce'); 
$code = $storeManager->getStore()->getCurrentCurrencyCode(); 
$currency = $objectManager->create('\Magento\Directory\Model\CurrencyFact‌ory')->create()->loa‌d($code); 
$symbol = $currency->getCurrencySymbol();
