Number_to_currency - not accepting all currencies?

rubyonrails-talk

Hi, I am trying to use the following code to have the browser display the New Israel Shekel, but it is not working <%= number_to_currency(product.price, :unit => "₪") %> I also tried <%= number_to_currency(product.price, :unit => "&nis;") %> <%= number_to_currency(product.price, :unit => "&shekel;") %>

Does anyone know how I can display the new Israel shekel? It shouls look like this: ₪

Also, does anyone know of a list of codes you can use to display different country currency symbols?

Thank you

A google search for 'html entity new isreali shekel' rapidly led me to suggest &#8362; You could try that.
