How It Works
1. Hex:૱ inserts code point U+0AF1 → ૱.
2. Decimal: same code point as 2801 → ૱. Same visual as hex.
3. CSS: use \0AF1 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends ૱.
4. Typed: paste ૱ in a UTF-8 document when you need the Gujarati glyph. Prefer aria-label or the words “rupee” / INR so the amount is clear to everyone.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with Gujarati rupee sign.
Name
No named entity
There is no HTML5 named entity for U+0AF1. Use ૱ or ૱. Do not invent &gujaratirupee;.
₹
Not the same as ₹
Indian rupee sign is ₹ (U+20B9). Gujarati rupee is ૱. Both mean INR — different scripts and code points.
৳
Not Bengali ৳
Bengali rupee/taka-related glyph is U+09F3. Do not mix Gujarati and Bengali currency signs.
Font
Font coverage
Some fonts omit the Gujarati block. If ૱ is missing, fall back to INR / Rs or a Gujarati-capable font.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\0AF1 belongs in CSS strings. ૱ / ૱ belong in HTML.

Add accessible text
Screen readers may not announce ૱ clearly. Prefer aria-label with “rupees” or nearby INR prose.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish entities with ; — write ૱, not ૱.
