Web Rupee | Rupee Symbol & Rupee Font

WebRupee is an API build to provide access of Indian rupee sign over the web.

WebRupee is developed to convert the Rs / Rs. in a website to the Rupee Symbol, which was approved by Indian Government on 15 July 2010. WebRupee does not use image for the “Rs” replacement. WebRupee provides 2 methods to perform the action. One method converts specific instances of the “Rs” occurrences. Other one converts all the “Rs” occurrences to the symbol.

A visitor would see “Rs / Rs.”. WebRupee looks for “Rs / Rs.” and converts it to the Rupee Symbol. So if for some reason WebRupee fails, it will not be able to turn “Rs / Rs.” to Rupee Symbol. So the visitors would see “Rs / Rs.”

WebRupee has two usage styles:

• via JavaScript. This converts all the occurrences of Rs
• via CSS. This converts user defined occurrences of Rs

Following is the markup for the JavaScript Method

<script src="http://cdn.webrupee.com/js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Following is the markup for the CSS Method

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://cdn.webrupee.com/font">

Using this the following markup Rs can be converted to rupee sign:

<span class="WebRupee">”Rs will go here”</span> 200

The emergence of CSS @font-face directive in all major browsers provides a standards-based way to display content including the rupee symbol in a user’s browser using fonts installed on the server, even if the user’s computer does not have up-to-date font software.

To use web safe font for Rupee on HTML, here is the example.
