How to Type the Rupee Symbol ₹ on Every Device

On Windows with the English (India) keyboard, press Right Alt + 4 (or Ctrl + Alt + 4). In Microsoft Word, type 20B9 and press Alt + X. On phones, press and hold the $ key. On a Mac, use the Character Viewer (Control + Command + Space) and search for “rupee” – or simply copy ₹ from a symbols page.

Copy it

The fastest way: copy ₹ from the symbols page (one click) and paste it with Ctrl + V.

Windows

Open the numbers/symbols page of the keyboard and press and hold $ – ₹ appears with the other currency signs. Keyboards set to English (India) or an Indian language often show ₹ directly.
