DescriptionThe Unicode character ₹, or U+20B9, is known as the "Indian Rupee Sign". It is part of the "Currency Symbols" block, which includes various symbols used to denote currencies around the world. This character falls under the "Symbol, Currency" category. Visually, the symbol combines the Latin capital letter 'R' with an added horizontal line, mirroring the Devanagari letter "र" (Ra) of the Indian national script, with a line across its top. The Indian Rupee sign is used to represent the monetary unit of India, the Rupee. It was introduced in 2010 following a nationwide design contest to create a symbol that would uniquely represent the Indian Rupee, distinguishing it from the various other currencies known as rupees used in countries like Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia.
