Er, I cannot see any symbol there. Even your mail client or the mail transmission system cannot cope with it, it seems.

Sorry, but where is this list of "Currency symbols", please? You don't even say what sort of document you are trying to create.
If you are wanting to include this symbol in, say, a text (Writer) document, you just need to use a font that includes this symbol, which is Unicode U+20B9. Fonts are installed in your operating system, not specifically in an application such as OpenOffice, so you need to obtain a font that includes this. My Window 10 system certainly includes a number of fonts that do. Use Insert | Special Character... to insert a single instance. To insert multiple instances, you can copy the first instance, or type (say) "#R" and then use Find & Replace to convert these en masse later, or even perhaps use AutoCorrect.
Or are you creating a spreadsheet (Calc) document? (You kept this a secret!) The list of symbols in cell formats for the currency INR shows twelve varieties of symbol - though the one for "English (India)" is indeed the "Rs." that you apparently don't want. But you can get around this by including as the currency symbol the code "[$#]", where "#" represents the symbol you do want, pasted in from the technique above. (I cannot show the real symbol here, as my mail client and very probably the mail system will not accept it.) Exactly the same applies to Number Format in a table cell in a text (Writer) document
So you can achieve everything you want, I think.
I will be grateful if this could be done in a simple manner, just like we can insert $ ¥ £ .
I think you can do this - providing you have a font that includes the required glyph.
This Indian symbol must be available in the list of Currency Symbols. Thank you for your time. I hope you will do this soon.
If you want the spreadsheet formatting to be changed, you can report the matter as a bug or enhancement request at the web site. Start at https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/QA/HowToFileIssue . Do remember that OpenOffice is a collaborative project: you could offer to make the change yourself.
ps: Wrote earlier a year back, and nothing has been said about it.
There is nothing from you in the list archive. Nor can I see that any issue has been submitted about this.
I trust this helps. Brian Barker --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
