Rupee Sign</strong> (<big id="symbol">₹</big>)
18
has <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-font-family/+bug/645987">been
19
supported</a> in the Ubuntu Font Family since
20
version 0.69. This was included in
21
the <a href="http://www.ubuntu.com/">Ubuntu 10.10 operating
22
system</a> release. Ubuntu 10.10 is the first operating system to
23
ship with out-of-the-box support for displaying the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_rupee_sign">Indian Rupee Sign</a>,
24
and this happened on 10 October 2010 (2010-10-10).</p>
26
<p>To display the sign, you <em>must</em> have a font—such as the <a href="../">Ubuntu Font Family</a>—with support for the character. For K/Ubuntu 10.10 users, this is automatic.</p>
28
<p>The sign can be inserted in your own documents using copy-and-paste from another location, or using the Unicode-entry method:</p>
30
<li><strong>Ubuntu 10.10:</strong><Ctrl-Shift-u> 2 0 b 9 <enter></li>
31
<li><strong>MS Windows:</strong> <Press-and-hold Alt> 2 0 b 9 <Release Alt></li>
32
<li><strong>Kubuntu 10.10:</strong> Copy-and-paste '₹'</li>
33
<li><strong>HTML:</strong> insert "&#x20b9;"</li>
36
<p>The original designer of the Indian Rupee Sign
37
is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D_Udaya_Kumar">Udaya
38
Kumar</a> who was awarded the prize on 15 July 2010 (2010-07-15)
39
by the Indian Government. The codepoint at U+20B9 was assigned by
40
the Unicode consortium on 11 August 2010 (2010-08-11). The glyph
41
for the Ubuntu Font Family was contributed
42
by <a href="https://launchpad.net/~rodrigorivascosta">Rodrigo
43
Rivas</a> on 27 September 2010 (2010-09-27). Version 0.69 of the
44
Ubuntu Font Family was uploaded on 5 October 2010 (2010-10-05).
