I'm using monospace for dollar sign my website, I get the result I'm looking for on chrome / windows and mobile phone but font render different on iOS? Why is the font display different? Is there a way to fix it?

Android chrome web

iOS web

It would be helpful if you provided the CSS code that you are using but I'm guessing you are doing something like this

font-family: monospace;

The reason this looks different on different operating systems is that "monospace" doesn't actually refer to a particular font it refers to any font where "All glyphs have the same fixed width" so each browser has a different font that it uses for "monospace".

If you would like your font to be consistent across different browsers and operating systems you will need to specify a particular font. This article from MDN explains how to specify font on the web https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/CSS/Styling_text/Web_fonts
