It's not on the money yet, but will be!  Because India is so quickly and solidly becoming a world financial player, they needed a symbol for stock  market and other purposes (rather than using Rs. as had been done).

This is beautiful, and I understand it's even more beautiful if you see the Indian script aspect of it, too.

I don't think it has an international ascii code yet, but here's  a way to use it if someone needs to:  http://www.megaleecher.net/taxonomy/term/10266
