Support for the new Indian currency symbol in java

Until Java correctly supports the new symbol, you can manually specify the currency symbol using its unicode value.

Unicode for Indian Currency Symbol U+20B9

So, to insert this character in a java string, you specify it as \u20B9instead of the default DecimalFormat currency value\u00A4

For instance:

DecimalFormat formatter = new DecimalFormat("\u20B9 000");

Unfortunately, it will be difficult to encode your output to always display the rupee symbol. If you need to support multiple locales, you can check the system.sountry property.

boolean iAmInIndia = "IN".equals(System.getProperty("user.country"));
DecimalFormat formatter = iAmInIndia ? new DecimalFormat("\u20B9 000") : new DecimalFormat("\u00A4 000");
