I am developing an eCommerce application and one of the features is that users can choose their currencies. Now, I noticed that when somebody selects the Russian Ruble, the symbol shows as just a square in Chrome on iOS (version 7.1). Why is that?
It should show this:
₽
but it shows this:
▢
Note that I am using the HTML code to display it:
₽
On the desktop version (iMac) it shows fine and I imagine on other operating systems, too.
Anybody got a clue why it's not showing in iOS?

In Unicode, it is encoded at U+20BD ₽ RUBLE SIGN. It can be entered on a Russian computer keyboard as AltGr + 8 on Windows and Linux, or AltGr + Р (Qwerty ⌥ + H position) on macOS.
Ruble symbol supports only iOS 8+.
The Unicode consortium officially designated a code point, U+20BD RUBLE SIGN, ₽, for the new symbol in Unicode 7.0, released 2014-06-16. iOS7 was released earlier. Last entry in this Unicode chart

The answer given is correct (the symbol was only recently introduced) but there is some really good detailed information on this issue over here: Russian ruble symbol HTML code?
