Here is the link to the proposal prepared by Michael Everson. http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2/docs/n3862.pdf 

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,
