Also note that the character named RUPEE SIGN has a compatibility
decomposition to "Rs" (short for "Rupees" I guess, not for "rupee sign"):
20A8;RUPEE SIGN;Sc;0;ET;<compat> 0052 0073;;;;N;;;;;
This compatibility decomposition cannot be changed, nor can the sample
glyph be changed significantly (i.e. it must continue to look much like
"Rs").
Unfortunately, some current fonts erroneously display a glyph for
that character that looks more like "Rp". That is a font error,
and nothing else.
If a "NEW RUPEE SIGN" (or whatever name is preferred) is chosen,
and this goes the same way as the EURO SIGN, i.e. is highly likely to
be actually used, as was the case when the EURO SIGN was added to Unicode),
and assuming the glyph does not look like "Rs", a new character will need
to be added.
