Currently, major currencies such as Japanese yen, British pound, US dollars and the Euro are being identified with symbols. These symbols are easily available with keyboards but question is that how we will type our new rupee symbol? The government is likely to promote the usage of the rupee symbol with the help of Indian keyboard manufacturers and software developing companies. It can also be accessed through allocated keyboard combination. The operating system's Character Map can also help in typing. Software manufacturers can comprise the symbol in their new revision.

The symbol will also include in the ‘Unicode Standard’ for illustration and processing of text, written in major scripts of the world. For extensive usage, Unicode Consortium's Unicode Technical Committee that is responsible for the development and maintenance of the Unicode Standard has to accept it including the Unicode Character Database. It also needs approval from Unicode Consortium, as India is a long time member of association, it will not be difficult for sanction. The new symbol had been designed keeping in simplicity with which it can be incorporated into the existing software systems. The next technical committee of Unicode will meet in the month of October.

This symbol will be encoded in the International Standard ISO/IEC 10646. The symbol will also be included in the Indian Standards, viz 13194:1991 – Indian Script Code for Information Interchange (ISCII), through an amendment to the existing list by the Bureau of Indian Standards. The ISCII specifies various codes for Indian languages for processing on computers along with the keyboard lay outs.

People still have to wait for its official approval. However, typographers will release fonts which might not be universally supported. Try to create with the help of free online font-creation tools. While encoding of the rupee symbol in the Indian Standards is estimated to take about six months, its inclusion in the global standards would take about 18 months to two years.
