Indian Rupee Sign is the standard symbol for its currency, used in pricing, invoices, financial reporting, and accounting software worldwide.
Unicode block: Currency Symbols (U+20A0–U+20CF). This dedicated Unicode block was created because currency symbols kept needing new entries as countries introduced new currencies — the Euro sign (€) itself was added to Unicode only after its 1999 introduction.
At Unicode code point U+20B9 (decimal 8377), Indian Rupee Sign is the 26th of 33 characters cataloged in this category on How To Type Any Symbol.
