How it works

The Rs symbol in text is ₨, Rupee sign, U+20A8. India's own sign is ₹, Indian rupee sign, U+20B9. Both are here to copy, with the regional rupee signs, the plain letters Rs and the currency codes such as INR.

Read the full guide

₹ and ₨ are two characters

₹ was first shown in 2010 and joined Unicode the same year. Its design draws on the Devanagari letter र and a Latin capital R without its upright stroke. ₨ is older, and Unicode notes it as an unofficial legacy practice in India. Before ₹, the Indian rupee was commonly written with the letters Rs, a notation several countries share.

Rupee signs of single scripts

Unicode also has ௹, Tamil rupee sign, ૱, Gujarati rupee sign, and ꠸, North Indic rupee mark. ৳ is named Bengali rupee sign, yet Unicode notes it as the Bangladeshi taka.

The Indonesian rupiah, IDR, and the Maldivian rufiyaa, MVR, are different currencies; their names are cousins of the word rupee.

Questions and answers

What is the Rs symbol in text?

₨ is Rupee sign, U+20A8: the letters R and s as one character. India's own sign is ₹, Indian rupee sign, U+20B9, which Unicode notes as the official rupee currency sign for India. The two plain letters Rs are the older way.

What is the INR symbol in text?

INR is the three-letter ISO 4217 code of the Indian rupee, and its sign is ₹. Other rupees have codes of their own: PKR for Pakistan, LKR for Sri Lanka, NPR for Nepal, MUR for Mauritius and SCR for Seychelles.

How do I type the rupee sign?

With a Compose key, press Compose, then R, then = for ₹, or Compose, then R, then s for ₨. Neither sign has an Alt code or a named HTML entity. In a web page, ₹ is ₹ and ₨ is ₨.

Why does ₹ show as an empty box?

The font on that device has no drawing for it. ₹ joined Unicode in version 6.0, in 2010, so an older device may lack it. The regional signs ௹ and ૱ need a font that covers Tamil or Gujarati.

Notes that begin Unicode's note quote NamesList.txt of the same version (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/NamesList.txt); the version a character was added in is from DerivedAge.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/DerivedAge.txt), block names are from Blocks.txt, and the years are from https://www.unicode.org/history/publicationdates.html. The rupee signs are the characters whose Unicode name holds the word RUPEE, found by a search of UnicodeData.txt; one of the eight, U+1ECB0 Indic Siyaq rupee mark, is left out because few devices have a font for it.
