Q. How to get the Indian currency sign

in KF fonts?

A. For getting this letter, first download and install the latest KF fonts, if you have the fonts
downloaded before 1st January 2012. If you have already installed previous fonts, say
overwrite whenever asked during installation.
There are various methods for getting this letter in KF fonts.
1. The code assigned for

and holding Alt key while typing 0 2 2 6 on Numeric Keypad at the right of the keyboard
and releasing the Alt key.

a special key Fn that is located near Ctrl and Alt on left side. You need to press and hold
Fn and Alt keys together and then type mkko (Keys to represent 0226 on Num. Keypad)
and release the keys for the letter to appear.
3. Latest KF font also has
