<span style="font-family:rupee;font-size:20px">R</span>

In above approach I want to show rupee symbol instead of Rs not for R,is any idea to do this change ?

I want go for above approach because if I use unicode character it may not support in all browsers. — Mahesh.D, Oct 09 '13 at 06:16

HTML Way

The HTML code for the Rupee symbol is ₹ will look like ₹

CSS Way

if you want to achieve this by css then

Add reference to in head for href=http://cdn.webrupee.com/font .

Now in the body section type the following where ever you want to display the Rupee symbol.

<span>Rs.</span> 200

Unicode Way:

The Unicode is ₹ will result in ₹

Note: The usage of Unicode to display Rupee symbol in websites is limited as the Unicode will only be converted on the systems with Unicode version 6.0. If an user with lower Unicode version visits your site then he will not be able to see the Rupee symbol.

I know this approach,its taking lot of time to load above mentioned link So,I thought to go mentioned approach in my question.Thanks — Mahesh.D, Oct 09 '13 at 06:18
