[SalesForce] Getting the currency symbol in lightning JS

I am using multiple currencies in my project and I have the currency ISO code. But the problem is, I want to get the symbol for currencies other than user locale. Is there any solution available for this?
Example :

in Lighting JS $A.get('$locale.currency') will return the user locale currency. I want to get the symbol for other currencies which are available in my org, Like Euro, Yen, etc.

lightning:formattedNumber allows you to pass a currency code dynamically and will render the appropriate symbol. All you need to do is in the init method set the currencyCode attribute to the current users iso code

example:

<lightning:formattedNumber value="10.00" style="currency" currencyCode="{!v.currencyCode}"/>

will render as $10.00 if the users ISO code is USD

Heres a link to the documentation

[SalesForce] Default currency symbol

We ended up fixing it this way, this hasn't been tested on a multicurrency org but this works on a singlecurrency org.

    public static String getCurrencyIsoCode(SObject someObject){
        String currencyIso = UserInfo.isMultiCurrencyOrganization() ? (String) someObject.get('CurrencyIsoCode') : UserInfo.getDefaultCurrency();
        return currencyIso;
    }

    public static String getCurrencySymbol(SObject someObject) {
        return getCurrencySymbolFromIso(getCurrencyIsoCode(someObject));
    }

    public static String getCurrencySymbolFromIso(String Iso) {
         String currencySymbol = 
           ('USD' == Iso ? '$' : 
           ('CAD' == Iso ? '$' : 
           ('EUR' == Iso ? '€' : 
           ('GBP' == Iso ? '£' : 
           ('JPY' == Iso ? '¥' : 
           ('KRW' == Iso ? '₩' : 
           ('CNY' == Iso ? '元' : 
           Iso)))))));
           return currencySymbol;
    }

[SalesForce] Currency conversion for an Outputtext

I usually solve this by mis-using some other currency field (e.g. create an extra CustomObjA, without ever saving it to the database) and putting the result of the calculation in that field. Then show that field on the screen.

in apex add a public variable for it:

public CustomObjA cust2 {get;set;}

and fill it whenever you need to do the calculation:

cust2 = new CustomObjA();
cust2.CurrencyIsoCode = cust.CurrencyIsoCode;
cust2.customCurrentyField1 = cust.customCurrencyField1 - cust.customCurrencyField2;

in visualforce (wrap in e.g. pageblockSectionItem since the label will be wrong):

<apex:pageBlockSectionItem>
   <apex:outputLabel value="Your custom label" />
   <apex:outputField value="{!cust2.customCurrencyField1}" />
<\apex:pageBlockSectionItem>
