Indian rupee currency symbol

[roedygr]

Unicode has a new glyph ₹ the Indian Rupee currency symbol.

It is supported in the DejaVu fonts. See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/freefonts.html

HTMLValidator complains about it. It should be a warning. Firefox goes a little nuts if you use it. Other browsers are fine.

Thanks for that.

(I always felt the old Rs was a bit odd!)

It'll take a long time for the new glyph to get into the majority of browsers, especially as only two fonts currently seem to include it.

(If anybody else is creating new glyphs, now would be a great time to get them approved!)

Thanks! I've updated the list of recognized Unicode characters for the next update and it now recognizes the new Indian rupee sign.
