    The competition rules are horribly vague on this point:

    "5. The symbol should be applicable to standard keyboard. The symbol
    has to be in the Indian National Language Script or a visual
    representation."

    <http://www.labnol.org/india/currency-symbol-for-indian-rupee/7739/>

    The stipulation that the symbol "should be applicable to standard
    keyboard" (no mention of Unicode or character encoding) is cause for
    some debate at <http://www.labnol.org/india/currency-symbol-for-indian-rupee/7739/>.

    I especially like the world map on the above page that shows all the
    currency symbols, including a rupee sign for India that looks
    suspiciously like the Code2000 character ... perhaps James should
    claim the 2.5 lakh prize.
