Comment 14 for bug 645987

The ₹ is not displayed in gucharmap , it seems hidden. I had to manually search for the U+20B9 to find it there.

When I check the character details, it says :
------------
[not a printable character]

U+20B9 <not assigned>

General Character Properties

Unicode category: Other, Not Assigned

Various Useful Representations

UTF-8: 0xE2 0x82 0xB9
UTF-16: 0x20B9

C octal escaped UTF-8: \342\202\271
XML decimal entity: &#8377;
------------------

while details for the older symbol says : U+20A8 RUPEE SIGN

Is this a bug in the Ubuntu font that it is not assigned or.. a bug elsewhere?
