The Indian Rupee sign (₹) represents the official currency of India. Introduced by the Indian government in 2010 and added to Unicode in version 6.0, the design cleverly blends the Devanagari consonant "र" (ra) and the Latin capital letter "R" without its vertical bar. It is primarily used across e-commerce platforms, banking applications, and digital menus to display prices and monetary values in rupees.
