I use 

₹

to display ₹ in our website.

it is supported in all major web browsers, but not in IE 7, so how can I display ₹ symbol in IE7.

web site is built on Magento and I gave the symbol as 

<currency type="INR">
    <displayName>Indian Rupee</displayName>
    <displayName count="one">Indian rupee</displayName>
    <displayName count="other">Indian rupees</displayName>
    <symbol>&#8377;</symbol>
</currency>

in MAGENTO_ROOT/lib/Zend/Locale/Data/en.xml

    It's not so much a matter of IE 7 not supporting it, but rather that IE 7 does not load *fonts* that contain the symbol. You might want to use an Embedded OpenType font which supports it (note: [IE before 9 is very particular about `@font-face` declarations](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5576616/font-face-being-ignored-by-ie7)) and apply that font to elements which contain the rupee symbol. –  Sep 16 '13 at 10:53
  • By the way, if you can consistently put the symbol in its own element, you could choose to use [this ugly hack](http://blog.blueornate.com/how-to-get-rupee-symbol-in-html/) ;) –  Sep 16 '13 at 11:03

  • Search for previous questions on rupee. – Jukka K. Korpela Sep 16 '13 at 11:05
  • The duplicate you mention has a poor quality answer. You can definitely fix this with a trick. –  Sep 16 '13 at 11:13

FontAwesome supports IE-7 and these are literally awesome. They scale well. Definitely worth a shot. Hope it works for you.
