Bug Description
The Linux Libertine fonts include the Indian Rupee sign (₹) at U+20A8. However, this code point is meant for the old rupee symbol (₨, like Rs). This symbol is used for the currency of Pakistan and sometimes those of other countries. In this context, the Indian symbol ₹ is incorrect and shouldn't be used. The correct codepoint for the symbol of the *Indian* rupee is U+20B9.
Other fonts have these symbols in the right places.
