Ever since man began to think logically about the business of buying and selling goods, he had invented the currency. The currencies differ from country to country. Certain currencies have their own symbols like the US dollar, Euro etc.

These were the suggested symbols

An independent symbol just like these was like a dream come true for all Indians. Now that the Union Cabinet has approved the new symbol for the Indian Rupee (  ) designed by Indian Institute of Technology postgraduate D Udaya Kumar, the question in everyone’s mind is how and when do we get to type the new symbol?

Unfortunately this standardized symbol is not yet approved by the Unicode Consortium’s Unicode Technical Committee that is responsible for the development and maintenance of the Unicode Standard, including the Unicode Character Database. Here in this post we are providing the modified version of the existing standard fonts like Arial, Verdana, Times New Roman and Tahoma. These fonts are strictly windows based and you cannot use it in any other Operating Systems right now. Install the Fonts given in the archive and using character map locate the corresponding Unicode onto which the symbol has been inserted as shown in the screenshot given below

So here most of the fonts works with the ‘ ~ ‘ key as indicated in the keyboard below.

To a great disappointment the symbol works only if both the sender and receiver has installed the same font. So share this post and lets have a switch from INR to  

Download the file and run it to install the rupee font !!
