Indian Rupee Symbol - The deciding date is today
(From pluggd.in and TOI ) We will have a new symbol for Indian National Rupee today. The Union Cabinet will today decide on the symbol for Indian Rupee, a privilege (unique identity) available only to major currencies like dollar, euro, pound sterling and yen. The proposal, said to be prompted by the growing influence of the Indian economy in the global arena, involves a shortlist of five symbols (finalists above) for the Indian rupee drawn up the finance ministry, reflecting the Indian ethos and culture. 1) The symbol should be applicable to standard keyboard 2) The symbol has to be in the Indian National Language Script or a visual representation 3) The symbol should represent the historical & cultural ethos of the country as widely accepted across the country I think fourth one should be he winner. Both Devnagri and Roman script of Rupya and Rupee are visible in the symbol. The first and the second symbols definitely do not stand a chance. Go India Go!
