How to use the Indian Rupee symbol in Windows XP

Question

I have a Dell KB212-B USB keyboard, and it has both the Indian Rupee symbol and the Euro symbol in the keyboard. But I don't know how to use it. What keys should I press to insert the symbols? I am using Windows XP.

Check this page out: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/20b9/index.htm. I'm on linux so can't really try. It's the ALT+[numbers] code that you use to type this kind of characters. Try using this ALT + 8377 type numbers in sequence while holding Alt — Ashtray, Aug 26 '13 at 08:04
You can also try searching for a correct keyboard layout (Indian layout or something) — Ashtray, Aug 26 '13 at 08:11

Normally in all dell keyboards the right side alt button will allow you to trigger the rupee symbol and for euro the same right alt+euro key will work.

i tried this from sathya's answer over here,it works fine on kb212-B keyboard

There is another way. Hold the Alt key and type:

0128 for the Euro symbol or
8377 for the Indian Rupee symbol

On the Internet there are multiple Windows Alt keycode tables. One is for example here: http://www.marathon-studios.com/unicode/categories/Sc/Currency_Symbol

Note that this answers a different question, not the one that was actually asked, which was how to use the keys on that keyboard that have the Euro and Rupee symbols printed on them to type the Euro and Rupee symbols. – JdeBP Feb 01 '14 at 10:23
