There was no Indian Rupee symbol in Bengali that was meant for the Indian currency per se. If you mean U+09F2 that goes by the description of 'BENGALI RUPEE MARK', then it is the mark for what the Bengalis call 'Taka' which means currency and it has been in use way before Indian independence. So one had to write it as ১৲ for 1 full value of the currency unit. If you mean U+09F3 i.e. ৳, then that is the sign for the Bangladeshi currency for which the nomenclature 'Taka' has actually been adopted and has no relation with the Indian currency. -- http://arrbee.wordpress.com http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Runab ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For Developers, A Lot Can Happen In A Second.
