India Rupee Symbol

New Indian rupee symbol is declared since long, but still it is not incorporated in unicode. So many people willing to use it are just wondering how to use the new symbol.




You can use rupee foradian fonts to type the rupee symbol.

• Download the fonts from http://www.moneymanagementideas.com/Indian-Rupee-Font/Rupee_Foradian.ttf
• Copy the font file to %windir%/Fonts [i.e. C:\Windows\Fonts]
• Open text editor like notepad or word, and select font "Rupee Foradian"
• To type rupee symbol, you can use [ ` ] character.

The problem with this approch is:

You need the font installed on the machine to read the text.  If reader doesn't have this font on his machine, he will see [ ` ]  mark only.

The workaround for this is:

You can embed the fonts in the document. 

For this you have to use text editor which allows you to embed the fonts, such as Microsoft Word.
