Tamil Nadu replaces rupee symbol with Tamil character in new logo
The Tamil Nadu government yesterday replaced the Indian rupee symbol ₹, with the Tamil letter, ரூ, in its logo for the Tamil Nadu state budget 2025-26, ahead of the budget session today.
The Indian Rupee sign is a composite of the Devanagari letter र (Ra) and the Roman letter R, while the symbol in the new logo draws from the first letter (Ru) of the Tamil word for Rupee.
