U+20B9 "₹" Indian Rupee Sign Unicode Character

U+20B9 "₹" Indian Rupee Sign is a currency symbol that was officially added to the Unicode Standard in version 6.0 in 2010, representing the Indian rupee. It was designed to blend the Devanagari consonant "र" (ra) with the Latin capital letter "R," and a double horizontal line at the top evokes the Indian tricolor flag. This sign replaced earlier informal representations like "Rs." and provides a distinct, globally recognized symbol for India's currency in digital text, financial documents, and software systems.
