Hi All,
Gargi is also ready with New Rupee Sign (Done by Monika Shah) which will
upload soon.The symbol have assigned been assigned unoicode value u20a8.
Which is for "Rs." from Unicode Currency Symbols chart.

Unicode Or Govt of India have to take some immediate action on it,And I
think instead of using private area why cant we use any of current assigned
value from the Unicode Currency Chart ,where India is already having 4
unicode values for Indian Rupee sign in various langs (Bengali,Gujarathi,
Tamil and RS).
So now all these sybols and unicode values are going to be invalid? If so
can adopt any of these unicode value for the standard Rupee sign.
While following the discussion about the same in Unicode mail list, I
noticed one point by Philips Verdy that
"The final vote for approving the representative glyph will require first
getting an agreement with the Indian governement that still owns the
exclusive design, until it approves its use by the public and implementation
in fonts and keyboard layouts, and there's no emergency to synchronize all
the rest of the pending proposals waiting for a final ballot."
So this addition of the rupee sign in font may be legal violation, And I
feel there might be community effort to fix a Unicode value for Rupee Sign.
