How to show ₹ symbol in GNUCash?

Question

In GUNCash INR currency symbol is showing by a question mark('?').

How to show ₹ symbol in this ?

USING Version: 2.6.18 Windows: 8.1 Pro

Off-topic. Check your character encoding (hopefully UTF-8) and your fonts (i.e. the font used to display currency in GNUcache) — Basile Starynkevitch, Sep 30 '17 at 05:38
I would like to ask a question about GNUCash. It is the software itself based not coding related. Which one is most proper ? — Kritik, Sep 30 '17 at 06:16

I got the temporary solution for this.

Go to Tools --> Security Editor --> Currencies

Just put the symbol '₹ ' along with a space.

If you put only '₹' symbol, it will become '?' symbol after save.

May be it is an issue, and should be logged here...

Just started GnuCash. This solution was needed even in November 2018 in GnuCash version 3.3, Windows 10 Pro. – San Nov 15 '18 at 08:54

Solution still valid in Jan 2020. Using GnuCash 3.7. Currencies will not appear unless you check the `Show National Currencies`, then you can edit the symbols as you want. – Josh21 Jan 08 '20 at 02:16

This solution is still valid for GnuCash 4.2 on Windows 10 Pro! Thanks! – Harsha J K Dec 26 '20 at 08:20
