Making the Rupee Symbol

The new Rupee Symbol is launched, but then there is no rupee Symbol in the computers or anywhere else. Making this symbol is quite easy. But then how to make it on computer is a problem unsolved. Still, we have a way to make a picture of the symbol quite close to the original one and that one’s pretty simple.

To make the Rupee symbol, simply go to Google transliterate and Switch it to Hindi. Now type R and press Enter/Space key. Now you can see a Hindi ‘ra.’ Copy this, open MS Paint or any similar software, go to add text box and paste it there. Now you can change the size and color of your Rupee symbol to be. The rest you have to do is, draw a line parallel to the top line just below it. Make sure the thickness of the lines is same and the distance between the two lines is almost the same as the thickness of the lines.

Here you get what looks almost like the Rupee Symbol. What is actually different here is that the actual symbol is a bit more curvy and goes less up in the middle. If you have patience, you can try some other fonts like Agra Thin (available here) and follow the same technique to get an even better result.
