Comment 4 for bug 645987

I'm not so sure of the Devanagari dependency. It looks to me that the
symbol design is more influenced by other currency symbols, as Euro or
Yen or even the latin R than the Devanagari Ra.

I've drawn a simple sketch to illustrate my point. You can see it at:

The first row is: latin R (ubuntu-font); Devanagari Ra (don't know
which font); the Rupee Symbol (my own proposal, ubuntu-font-like).
The second row are all ubuntu-font: Euro symbol; Pound symbol; Yen symbol.
At the right there is the official Rupee Symbol design.

Note how the official Euro design
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Euro_Construction.svg) is adapted
to the ubuntu-font look-and-feel. I tried to do the same with the
rupee, but I'm not a designer, so feel free to disagree...

Rodrigo.
