But I am not sure whether this is yet submitted to the Unicode consortium.
As per this suggestion, it seems like U+20B9 will be allocated for the new rupee symbol.

Hoi, I asked Michael Everson if he had more information about the new symbol for the rupee. He did and I blogged about it based on his information. Obviously this is a special case but essentially when there is a need for new characters there is a procedure for getting them included in Unicode. Once they are in Unicode, fonts have to support the new characters. Thanks, GerardM
