About this character

U+20A8 (₨) is RUPEE SIGN, a currency symbol in the Currency Symbols block. Its script is Common: it is shared by many writing systems rather than belonging to one. It was added in Unicode 1.1 (1993).

It is a compatibility variant of U+0052 R + U+0073 s (compatibility decomposition <compat>). NFC and NFD leave it alone, but NFKC and NFKD replace it with U+0052 R + U+0073 s. Search engines, identifier checks and username systems that apply NFKC will treat the two as the same text.
