Rupee and
sign are common nouns, not
proper nouns, in the same way that
dollar,
euro,
franc and
currency sign are not proper nouns. Both
rupee and
sign are presented in lowercase in the
Wiktionary, as well as throughout their respective Wikipedia articles. Just because it is the title of the article does not mean that each word should be capitalised.

Disagree The new sign is for the Indian rupee only and not for other rupees from a couple of other countries. So merger into Rupee sign which mentions Sri Lanka, Nepal, Pakistan, Mauritius, Seychelles, Indonesia, and the Maldives besides Indian is not required.--

Rp
It resembles, and is often written as, the Latin character sequence "Rs" or "Rs." In my browser it looks like "Rp". I know Rp is supposed to be
Rupiah, but many fonts get that wrong. It should be mentioned because it's very confusing to read that Rp looks like Rs. And what about the
four other rupee signs in Unicode?--

Disagree This article is about the Unicode character ₨ and not about the rupee. This article has enough content to serve as a separate article. Over time this article will achieve the status of a good article. All currencies that have a sign have a seperate article for the currency and a separate article for the sign. Hence I strongly object to the merger.

I object to the use of "Generic" in this article title. The Rs character is called the Rupee sign. It is distinct from the new Indian rupee sign. There should only be two articles, with those names, and hatnotes pointing to each other. This Generic rupee sign article should redirect to Rupee sign. --

DisagreeThe word generic is necessary to clearly distinguish it from the Indian rupee sign. Hence I strongly object renaming the article.
R.Sivanesh(Talk) 15:33, 2 August 2010 (UTC)reply
This reasoning is not sound. This character has always been called Rupee sign and there is no reason for it to change just because a new character has been invented for specific Indian use. The creation of a new character should not necessitate change the name of the old character. --

How can you move without achieving consensus?
R.Sivanesh(Talk) 14:30, 4 August 2010 (UTC)reply
I have restored these articles to the status quo. We need only four articles:
Indian rupee for the currency of India,
Indian rupee sign for the newly-created character,
Rupee for the generic currency name, and
Rupee sign for the generic currency sign, whose Unicode name is RUPEE SIGN. The creation of the Indian rupee sign does not oblige us to add "Generic" to either Rupee or Rupee sign. --

Taka
The table Rupee Sign in other Languages mentions Taka in the second row. But this is not a another symbol for Rupee, but for
Taka, the Bangladeshi currency, which is completely different from Rupee.
Although Taka (
Bengali) and Toka (
Assamese) are used in place of Indian Rupee, the symbol is never used, it is exclusively used for Bangladeshi Taka, which is different from Rupee being called Taka in two Indian languages.
I disagree. Taka and Rupee are synonymous. Even the Unicode table says that it is Bengali rupee. That prevails in common parlance should remain in Wikipedia rather than some thing very hypercritical. Hence I strongly object the proposal. R.Sivanesh✆ 14:56, 5 November 2010 (UTC)reply
Maldives?
The Maldives does not use the rupee. It uses Rufiyaa, a unique currency to the country. The symbol used is 'Rf' not 'Rs'. Why is Maldives mentioned here? I suggest removal. -

Rs or Rp?
The rupee sign variably resembles either "Rs" or "Rp". What is the difference with regards to usage? Is one prefered over the other or are they used in different contexts? The article does not make this clear, nor have I been able to find an explanation anywhere else.

This recreation was achieved by copying
Rupee#Symbol. See history of that article for provenance. I wish to acknowledge the work of earlier editors who created and developed it. --
