Editing Rupee (section)

== Abbreviation ==

In [[Latin script]], "rupee" (singular) is abbreviated as 'Re'.{{Citation needed|date=July 2018}} and "rupees" (plural) as '₨'. The Indonesian ''rupiah'' is abbreviated 'Rp'. In 19th century typography, abbreviations were often superscripted: <math>R_\cdot^s</math> or <math>R^\underline{s}</math>. In Brahmic scripts, rupee is often abbreviated with the [[grapheme]] for the first syllable, optionally followed by a circular abbreviation mark or a Latin abbreviation point: {{char|रु૰}} (Devanagari ''ru.''),<ref name="Deka2010a">{{cite web |last1=Deka |first1=Rabin |title=Additions to Deva-Nagariscript and Bengali script |url=http://unicode.org/L2/L2010/10029-deva-addtitions.pdf |date=2010-01-25}} This proposal contains two attestations with a solid dot instead of a circle. Deka also points out that {{char|रु.}} is printed with a shorter head bar when used as the abbreviation for rupee.</ref><ref name="Pandey2009" /> {{char|રૂ૰}} (Gujarati ''ru.''),<ref name="Pandey2009">{{cite web |last1=Pandey |first1=Anshuman |title=L2/09-331 Proposal to Deprecate Gujarati Rupee Sign |url=https://unicode.org/L2/L2009/09331-gujarati-rupee-sign-deprec.pdf |access-date=25 October 2019 |date=2009-10-07}}</ref> {{char|රු}} ([[Sinhala script|Sinhala]] ''ru''), {{char|రూ}} ([[Telugu script|Telugu]] ''rū'').
