I came across this survey which was being done by the Economic Times to be submitted to the Ministry of Finance. The ministry wants a suggestion for an universal Rupee symbol, as $ represents USD.
What should INR be represented by? In fact I thought for a while, and I feel why not just a plain 'Rs.' as it has been for ages. Or has it nor been the norm?
i am comfy with 'Rs'...
ReplyDeletea symbol wud definitely look great. "Rs" cant be considered as symbol rite?
ReplyDeleteUSD is $ so Rs has to have a symbol, right?
ReplyDeleteyeah, i read about it too. the challenge is, as sawan n biju mentioned, to come up with something that can be easily represented on the keyboard.
ReplyDeleteRs is an abbr., but we do not have a symbol.
its actually also a contest, where a person or agency can sumbit their design or ideas for it!
I am not too sure whether we need a symbol always. Why not keep it as 'Rs'
ReplyDeleteThere are many countries, who do not have a symbol. And they also print the abbreviation only on official documents.
Eg: Price for a dozen eggs can be 25.00
Why does it need to have a symbol? Its understood right? And where its required why not just plain 'Rs'
