The Indian Rupee symbol (₹) is one of the currency symbols characters in the AllSymbols catalog. It comes from the Unicode Currency Symbols block (U+20A0–U+20CF) or, for older signs, from Latin-1 Supplement. New currency signs are added to the standard as central banks introduce them; longer-established signs are universally supported.
Use the symbol when your audience clearly recognizes it. Use the three-letter ISO 4217 code when the symbol is shared between currencies (the dollar sign, for example) or when readers may not recognize the symbol. For mixed-audience writing, combine them once: £25 (GBP).
In Unicode, Indian Rupee sits at code point U+20B9. Web pages reference it with the HTML numeric entity ₹; CSS rules reference it as a quoted hex escape (the four-digit code prefixed with a backslash); in JavaScript and most modern source-code contexts you can either paste the literal character or use a Unicode escape with the same hex digits.
Symbol placement is a locale convention. English typically prefixes (£25); French and German typically suffix with a thin space (25 €). When writing for the open web, follow your audience’s convention rather than imposing one.
If Indian Rupee isn’t quite what you need, the Currency Symbols page lists every related character on the site — including Dollar Sign and Shekel Sign. The related-symbols grid below also surfaces the closest sibling characters.
India adopted its own rupee sign in 2010. Several other countries still write rupees as Rs or ₨:
| Char | Name | Unicode | Use it for |
|---|---|---|---|
| ₹ | Indian rupee sign | U+20B9 | Indian rupee (INR): ₹500. |
| ₨ | Rupee sign | U+20A8 | Generic rupee, e.g. Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Mauritius. |
| Rs | Latin abbreviation | — | Common fallback in plain text and older systems. |
| INR | ISO 4217 code | — | Invoices and currency converters. |
With the “English (India)” keyboard on Windows, press Ctrl+Alt+4 or AltGr+4. Phone keyboards set to an Indian language usually show ₹ on the symbols page.
Press Ctrl+Alt+4 on an Indian keyboard layout, or type 20B9 then press Alt+X in Word. You can also copy ₹ straight from this page — it pastes into any app.
Press Ctrl+Cmd+Space to open the Character Viewer, then search for the symbol by name.
The indian rupee symbol is Unicode code point U+20B9. In HTML, use the entity ₹ or the numeric reference ₹.
