Ruble Sign Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for Ruble Sign because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+20BD, which you can use as ₽ in HTML, \20BD in CSS, or type with Alt+8381 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. Ruble Sign is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+20BD is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript. Ruble Sign has no named HTML entity, so use the numeric escape ₽ or the hex escape ₽.
