Where is the standard yet, so it can be adhered to? I didnt even speak on
font, only had mentioned on discussing where possibly the symbol could be
put in keymap.
As for including rupee symbol in a font, its more about enthusiasm of
interested folk to just see how we could get it in a font and on display..
encoding part surely will be adhered to when it gets finalized, till then
let people play.

At the best we can do is fix on a code in PUA and use same in all fonts
(gargi, lohit...etc).

We do not want a sign for the paisa sign, do we? Why is nobody complaining?

could well be represented with new symbol.
