El nou símbol de la rupia

Llegim que el govern indi va aprovar dijous passat el nou símbol de la rupia, segons un disseny de Shri D Udaya Kumar triat entre cinc finalistes. Encara trigarà una mica, però, a formar part d’Unicode, l’estàndard internacional per a representació de text en sistemes informàtics.
In view of the fact that the Indian economy has been expanding at a sustained high rate of growth, is steadily integrating with the global economy and India has emerged as a prime investment destination worldwide, it was decided to undertake an exercise for selecting a distinct and identifiable symbol for India Rupee (INR) like other major currencies such as US Dollar (USD), British Pound Sterling (GBP), the Japanese Yen (JPY) and the European Union (EU) Euro.
