How to Use and Format the Rupee Symbol

Use ₹ as the exact Unicode character U+20B9 (INDIAN RUPEE SIGN) when the document needs a copyable, searchable text symbol. The Indian rupee sign ₹ is the currency symbol of the Indian rupee and is encoded as U+20B9. The character should remain text rather than being redrawn with several characters or replaced by an image when exact encoding matters. Its visual form can change with the font, operating system, and text-versus-emoji presentation supported by the destination application.

Place the Indian rupee symbol in a sentence, equation, label, or reference that makes its role clear. For web content, use the literal UTF-8 character or a valid numeric or named character reference, and provide visible text or an accessible name when the symbol is used in a control. Before publishing, verify the code point, spacing, capitalization, and nearby units or labels against the relevant technical or editorial standard.

  • Follow the applicable locale for symbol placement, spacing, decimal separators, and grouping.

  • Add a currency code or name when the symbol alone could be ambiguous.

  • Use the exact Unicode character ₹ (U+20B9) rather than a visually similar substitute.

  • Use the literal UTF-8 character or a complete HTML character reference when publishing on the web.

  • Provide a visible label or accessible name when the symbol is used as an icon or control.

  • Test the character in the target font and application before publishing.
