Rupee symbol in mail

Question

I am using PHP mailer to send mails to my clients. I need to insert the Rupee symbol in the body of the mails.

How can I do this?

Answer 1

What is said about the Rupee symbol on web sites holds (even more) true for mail clients: It will take some time (years) until versions of the standard fonts with the new symbol has made it to every client machine.

There are workarounds for web pages, but none of them is a good idea to use in E-Mails. I would use the currency code INR in E-Mails for the time being.
