India has now got a unique symbol for the Rupee.
It's a half -R -- or full, Devanagari "Ra" -- with a couple of parallel horizontal lines at the top, one cutting the half-R's upper curve. Yes, it was predictable given the parameters of the competition -- which specified that it be based on the Devanagari "Ra" -- and given, too, the tendency for currency symbols across the world to feature two parallel lines, apparently to convey a soothing impression of stability.
Most of the developed countries have a symbol for their currencies and it is important for a country for India too to have a symbol for the Rupee.
