Summary :
This SAP Note addresses the implementation of the new INDIAN RUPEE SIGN (U+20B9) in Unicode systems. It emphasizes the importance of using this specific Unicode code point to ensure data consistency and prevent future compatibility issues. Recommendations include verifying that both input methods and fonts adhere to the U+20B9 code point and do not substitute with other similar symbols, like U+20A8 or U+0060. It clearly states that SAP provides neither specific input methods nor fonts for the INDIAN RUPEE SIGN, and usage in non-Unicode systems is unsupported. Additional resources for the official character layout are provided.
