How to type the Rupee symbol ?
Rupee symbol has been mapped to the grave acent symbol – ` (the key just above “tab” button in your keyboard) with the new Rupee symbol. Just select “Rupee” font from the drop down list of your fonts in your application and press the key just above your tab button. It will display our new rupee symbol. Try it.
Limitations
The “Rupee.ttf” font is necessary to view the currency symbol. So as long as the new symbol is not encoded in to unicode font by default, we cant use the symbol universally.
Some people reported that they are facing a problem to select font from the drop down list of MS Office and similar applications. This is because they haven’t included glyphs for letters from A to Z.And the solution is to download theĀ release version 2.0 of the Rupee font. This one contains all the glyphs(letters) and is based onĀ BitstreamVera. Below is the version 2.0 download for Indian Rupee
