Rupee symbol

You must be wondering as to what the title means and the symbol above means, I'll tell u. India has joined the dollar, pound, euro and yen in coming up with a rupee symbol of it's own, designed by a post-graduate student from IIT, and chosen from around 3000 designs. According to the Information and broadcasting misiter of India, Ms. Ambika Soni, the government proposes to launch the symbol in India within 6 months and worldwide in 18-24 months. Common man will be able to use the symbol very soon on personal computers and laptops manufactured in India. It is a long wait for us Indians to join the big league of currencies and I am very happy for the currency and the country as a whole.
