How to use rupee symbol in Dell keyboard?
I have Dell Latitude laptop and it has both Indian rupee symbol and euro in keyboard. But don't know how to use it. What keys can I press to insert the symbols?
I'm using Windows 7.
Solution 1:
I went to the language page in control panel and changed it to Indian from US keyboard.
Voila: Right Alt + 4 gives Indian Rupee (₹). Left Alt + 4 gives dollar symbol ($).
Solution 2:
We need to install windows driver update and some configurations. Kindly check this article. Type Indian Rupee Symbol using Keyboard Keys

- On the Text Services and Input Languages screen, click Add.
- On the Add Input Language screen select English (India), and then select the India keyboard check box.
- Restart the system.

Hitting the Right side Alt and then the Rupee symbol will trigger the Rupee key entry. For Euro, it's the same - the Right side Alt -and hitting the Euro key will trigger the Euro symbol.
