India unveils new rupee symbol

I really love this rupees symbol

Government hopes to signal India's growing strength with globally recognised currency symbol

It may look like a melted British Rail sign but it's hoped that a new symbol for the Indian rupee will signal India's growing economic strength ‑ and it will be coming soon to a keyboard near you.

We have an emerging curruncy and the symbol is a must and that will reduce/differntiate our indian ruppes from the srilanka/pakistan rupiah so on.
