WooCommerce uses the “د.إ” for the United Arab Emirates Dirham (AED). This ingenidev plugin changes it to the new official symbol (issued by the UAE Central Bank on March 27th 2025).

Do you want to install the new UAE Dirham currency symbol on your site? This plugin is for you.
This plugin has been tested with several themes and configurations but since the new UAE currency symbol is very recent and still does not have its own UTF code, there might be cases that we did not cover.
In such cases, the plugin will fall back gracefully to displaying “AED” (in English) in lieu of the new symbol. This will likely remain a limitation until the UTF code is released and makes it into woocommerce at which point, this plugin will no longer be needed.
If you notice any issues with your theme please let us know and provide us with a link where we can see the issue and we will gladly fix it for you.
