Indian Currency gets an Identity
India unveiled on Thursday what it hopes to be a globally recognized sign for its currency, just like the dollar and its symbol $. The rupee is currently referred to by abbreviations like Rs, Re or INR. The new symbol was created by a post-graduate student of Indian Institute of Technology,Uday Kumar. He beat 3000 other entries to win the cash prize of 250,000 rupees ($7,388).
The symbol is an amalgam of the Indian Devanagari script Ra and the Roman capital letter R without the stem. There are now plans to have the new symbol introduced on computer keyboards shortly and is expected to be in international use in about two years’ time.
