  ¥ is the symbol for Japanese currency with the kanji being 円 (えん/en)

  The “y” is added in the English translation

    The sign is used for both yen and yuan.

        Glad it clears up. I’m a chinese of another country and also got some very mild exposure toward japanese culture and language as well, so it’s kinda straight forward for me since the menu is full kanji and the wording is very prc chinese.

        It’s the difference between being Chinese and learning Japanese I guess. Though I’m neither.

  The text on the left is being translated as kanji but it’s very nonsensical so it’s possible the text on the left is chinese being translated as Japanese to English but the ¥ symbol on the right is definitely the Japanese yen
