Checkout total shows EUR alongside the sign

[rashedripon]

Describe the bug

When multi-currency is enabled, the checkout total shows "EUR" next to the total amount which is redundant and not the usual way to show Euro prices.

To Reproduce

• Make sure your site has Euro as currency or is the default currency of WooCommerce
• Enable multi-currency in WooCommerce Payments (Payment > Settings > Advanced settings)
• Add any product to the cart > Visit the Checkout page and notice the total

Expected behavior

In the case of "$" there is a possibility that it can be USD, AUD, or CAD. However, Euro is universal so it shouldn't say "EUR" in addition to the "€" sign.

Thanks for reporting this issue @rashedripon.

I think this is another addition we should consider alongside with https://github.com/Automattic/woocommerce-payments/issues/1389 and https://github.com/Automattic/woocommerce-payments/issues/1301

This was implemented according to design here which states "Use explicit format when showing total amounts". Need review & change for the designs. Also note, last comment on future direction (paJDYF-20W-p2#comment-8358), currency formatting may need to move to WooCommerce Core.

As mentioned above, this request is in contradiction to the requirement to display currency format in the explicit format. This already happens on shortcode cart and checkout, but we also have the issue https://github.com/Automattic/woocommerce-payments/issues/2648 to add the explicit format in blocks (or even in WC Core as mentioned above).

This issue will require further discussion as I can see the discrepancy between "dollar" currencies which can be ambiguous and other currencies.
