No. Rather than using U+20A8 RUPEE SIGN, ordinary typographic practice would just be to use "Rs" or "Rs." for rupees and "Re" or "Re." for rupee. As in "Rs 9.60 lakhs" and so on. There are a number of examples where currency signs are just abbreviations using ordinary letters. "DM" was widely used for Deutschmarks, "dkr" for Danish kroner, and so on before the switch to euros, for example. --Ken
