About

The word 英镑 is formed by combining two characters: 英, which is the common shorthand for England or Britain (derived from 英格兰, Yīnggélán), and 镑, which is the standard Chinese character for "pound" as a unit of currency. Together, they create a compound word where the first element specifies the nation and the second specifies the monetary unit, literally meaning "Britain's pound" to distinctly identify the currency of the United Kingdom.
