Rupee Sign Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for Rupee Sign because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+20A8, which you can use as ₨ in HTML, \20A8 in CSS, or type with Alt+8360 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. Rupee Sign is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+20A8 is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript. Rupee Sign has no named HTML entity, so use the numeric escape ₨ or the hex escape ₨.
