Keshava,
Read the Wikipedia article I linked. It takes you directly to the section on
entering Unicode characters in X11 apps. You have to use the X11 CTRL+SHIFT+U
key combo procedure, the Windows combo of CTRL+ALT will *not* work. Note, there
are *two* methods in X11, the first you hold the combo down while typing the
code, the second, you release the combo first then type the code, then hit
ENTER. There is also a variation of that second method. Read over that
Wikipedia entry carefully and try them all till you get one that works for you.
As for customizing the currency symbol:
1. Open Tools > Security Editor
2. Make sure ’Show National Currencies’ is checked at the bottom left
3. Expand the currency list
4. Find your currency
5. See if the symbol shows correctly
6. If not, with that currency selected, click the Edit button
7. Type, or copy/paste your desired symbol in the Display symbol field and
click the OK button
Note, when I look at my currency list, I see symbols for all currencies that
have them defined. (some have letter abbreviations) Of those that have symbols
(many in foreign character sets to mine) I see symbols for all of them, not one
is replaced by a question mark. In particular Indian Rupee has the proper
symbol for me. The other countries which use Rupees all seem to be set to ₨.
(or SR in the case of the Seychelles)
Regards,
Adrien
