This image is the final symbol that will now represent the Indian Rupee.
Unlike other currency symbols like the Dollar or the Euro, you can’t however type the Rupee symbol using the standard Roman keyboard yet as the Government of India is yet to issue a formal request to the Unicode Consortium to assign a unique (alt) code to this new symbol.
The symbol, designed by an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) postgraduate D. Udaya Kumar, was selected from among five shortlisted symbols before the cabinet, Information and Broadcasting Minister Ambika Soni said after the cabinet meeting.
"It is just a symbol," she told reporters.
