Design of the indian rupee symbol
The document proposes a symbol for the Indian Rupee currency. The symbol is based on elements of the Devanagari and Roman scripts for "Rupee", incorporates the colors of the Indian flag, and an equality sign to represent a balanced economy. It is designed to be globally and locally appealing, simple yet unique, and easily written, adapted, and reproduced at different sizes. The symbol balances visual forces to be stable and blends with Indian and Arabic numerals. Unicode has assigned a code point for the symbol.
