Definition

What Is the Bengali Rupee Mark?

Bengali rupee mark (৲) is Unicode U+09F2 in the Bengali block. It is a currency mark used with Bengali script—not the everyday taka sign. HTML has no standard named entity — use numeric or CSS forms (or type the character in UTF-8).

Remember

Character     ৲
Unicode       U+09F2
Hex entity    &#x09F2;
Decimal       &#2546;
Named entity  (none)
CSS escape    \09F2
Not the same  ৳ U+09F3 (Bengali rupee sign)

All of these produce the same glyph: ৲. Prefer typing ৲ in UTF-8 when you can; use ৲ / ৲ or CSS for generated content.

html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Bengali Rupee Mark (৲) in HTML</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\09F2";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Bengali rupee mark using Hex Code: &#x09F2;</p>
  <p>Bengali rupee mark using HTML Code: &#2546;</p>
  <p id="point">Bengali rupee mark using CSS Entity: </p>
  <p>Typed directly: ৲</p>
</body>
</html>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+09F2 → ৲ in HTML. The browser turns it into ৲.

2. Decimal: same code point as 2546 → ৲. Same result as hex.

3. CSS: use \09F2 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ৲ after the paragraph text.

4. Typed ৲: fine in UTF-8 source. All four lines show the same glyph.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with Bengali rupee mark (৲).

Named

No &name; form

U+09F2 has no standard named entity — use ৲ or ৲.

৳

Not the taka sign

For the common Bengali / taka currency glyph use ৳ (U+09F3).

INR

Not Indian rupee

For modern INR pricing use ₹ (U+20B9).

Name the currency

Screen readers may not announce “Bengali rupee mark.” Pair the glyph with clear text.

Fonts

Need Bengali coverage

Some UI fonts omit U+09F2. Prefer fonts with solid Bengali script support.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\09F2 belongs in CSS. ৲ / ৲ belong in HTML.
