city02 63 Report post Posted July 20, 2010 so finally India also joined the Elite club of Countries having currency symbol ...........good symbol i know the news media has also been hyping this development as 'joining' the elite club but its far from the truth a better analogy would be 'applied for membership' once the symbol is certified by the standards body and assigned an ASCII code it would be 'provisional membership' only when ALL keyboards sold in India have this symbol on them can we be really considered a 'full member' [no downloading required - like the $ symbol] As Indians we love the feeling of importance in the world [and many other countries also do] but we routinely get our butts kicked by dysfunctional states like pakistan [specially in the PR space] so in the eyes of the world we are both considered similar 3rd world countries but that's an entirely different debate... Only when you travel abroad regularly will you realise not only how little foreigners know about India but more importantly - how little they care we are virtually irrelevant compared to china i literally had to argue that we are asians too since many asian-americans [not just whites] think that only people who look 'chinky' are true asians! so people from the north-east would actually be considered 'more' asian than the rest of the country...

sgiitk 32 Report post Posted July 20, 2010 (edited) For users of Word there is a better way of storing the Rupee symbol. Then you do not have to go and change fonts all the time. Go into Insert > Symbol > More Symbols > Select the Symbol by selecting the font and the character. Now in future you just do Insert Symbol and double click on it. I have tested this with Office 2007 and 2010. Almost all of us will be using the symbol often enough for it not to drop off the symbols list! Note added- One small problem: You cannot do a Find & Replace and change Rs. to the Rupee symbol. It works only on the active font.
