I have a winform application.In this application I have implemented culture globalization for different countries like USA, Frans and India. And I have to test this culture on windows server 2003 OS. When my culture is set to USA all the currency format set to $ before amount.But when I set this culture to INDIA rupee symbol is not getting visible.Instead of Rupee symbol it is showing square as i have attached two images for dollar sign and rupee sign in datagridview.

Dollar symbol in Datagridview

enter image description here

Rupees Symbol in Datagridview

enter image description here

I have set Datagridview font to ARIAL for containing rupee symbol but it is not showing ₹ (Rupee Symbol) as given in attached image.I am checking it on windows server 2003. I have install two fonts Mangal and Mangal Bold for getting rupee symbol but still not showing.

Note that INR got its own symbol only in 2010 (Unicode U+20B9). Microsoft added support for the symbol in Aug 2010, via KB2496898 for Windows Vista, in Windows Server 2008, in Windows 7 and in Windows Server 2008 R2.

But Windows Server 2003 did not get this enhancement as it was already in Extended Support Phase from July 2010.

  • So there is no way to show rupee symbol in window server 2003. If there is any such font that it supports or upgrade of OS? – user2691432 Jul 08 '14 at 13:37
