What You'll Learn

How to display the Gujarati Rupee Sign (૱) in HTML using hexadecimal, decimal, and CSS escape methods. This character is U+0AF1 (GUJARATI RUPEE SIGN) in the Gujarati block (U+0A80–U+0AFF)—the rupee symbol shaped for Gujarati-script content (Indian Rupee, INR).

Render it with ૱, ૱, or CSS escape \0AF1. There is no named HTML entity. For Latin-script INR prices, sites often use ₹ (₹, U+20B9 Indian Rupee Sign) instead; use ૱ when your UI is in Gujarati. See also Bengali Rupee Sign (৳) for another Indic-script currency glyph.

💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Use fonts with Gujarati support (e.g. Noto Sans Gujarati, Shruti)
  • Declare UTF-8 with <meta charset="utf-8">
  • Set lang="gu" on Gujarati content pages
  • Pair with locale-aware number formatting for INR amounts
  • Clarify currency with INR or Gujarati context in multi-script UIs

Don’t

  • Assume U+0AF1 and U+20B9 (₹) are interchangeable in every design
  • Expect a named HTML entity for U+0AF1
  • Use CSS \0AF1 in HTML text nodes
  • Rely on fonts that omit the Gujarati block without a fallback
  • Confuse Gujarati rupee (૱) with Bengali taka (৳)
