Indian rupee sign
The Indian rupee sign (sign: ; code: INR) is the currency sign for the Indian rupee, the official currency of India. Designed by D. Udaya Kumar, it was presented to the public by the Government of India on 15 July 2010, following its selection through an “open” competition among Indian residents. The symbol uses Unicode character. Before its adoption, the most commonly used symbols for the rupee were Rs, Re or, if the text was in an Indian language, an appropriate abbreviation in that language. The new sign relates solely to the Indian rupee; other countries that use a rupee, such as Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Nepal, still use the generic character.The rupee was historically divided into 16 annas, but due to inflation, the anna has lost value.
The design resembles both the Devanagari letter "र" (ra) and the Latin capital letter "R", with a double horizontal line at the top.
== Origin of the symbol ==
On 5 March 2009, the Indian government announced a contest to create a sign for the Indian rupee.〔http://finmin.nic.in/the_ministry/dept_eco_affairs/currency_coinage/Comp_Design.pdf COMPETITION FOR DESIGN〕 During the 2010 Union Budget, Union Finance Minister (at that time) Pranab Mukherjee said that the proposed sign should reflect and capture the Indian ethos and culture. From around 3,331 responses received, five symbols were shortlisted. These were the entries from Nondita Correa-Mehrotra, Hitesh Padmashali, Shibin KK, Shahrukh J. Irani, and D. Udaya Kumar and one of them was due to be selected at the Union Council of Ministers of India meeting held on 24 June 2010. However, the decision was deferred at the request of the Finance Minister, and the final decision was made when they met again on 15 July 2010, when they chose the symbol created by Udaya Kumar, Associate Professor IIT Guwahati.〔(IITG Department of Design )〕
