Most of you must know that we got our own
brand new currency symbol yesterday. It will surely be added to
Unicode sometime in the future, but for now we are mostly stuck with using images or special fonts to display this on the computer. I just figured out an
easy way to display this until we get our own Unicode character. Its pretty simple - the Devanagari "ra" (र) with a strike-through. It should look like
र and its pretty close to what the symbol Here are some options for displaying it in HTML:
<del>र</del>or
<del>र</del> in UTF8 text.
We can also use half "
sa" and but it might not display properly everywhere. The earlier strike-through version looks closer to the real symbol (especially on IE). The code for half-sa is:
स&#2381;‍and it looks like - स्
Just my
र0.02. ;-) Hope you guys find it useful. By the way you should be able to copy and paste the symbols from here into Word or other applications which support formatting. You should be able to copy and paste the half-sa version into any application - even notepad if it displays correctly on your computer. But just remember that Devanagari Unicode could display differently on different computers.
