A web search indicates that it is available by default in Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat. What version of Ubuntu are you running?

Ubuntu 11.04. How to enable that option?

Since the Indian Rupee Sign is available in Ubuntu/Kubuntu 10.10 and higher, you should be able to produce it using the official instructions on this page:

By the way, are you sure you're running 11.04, rather than 10.10? Maverick 10.10 is the latest stable version; Natty 11.04 is in Alpha 1 and is suitable for developers and testers, but not for production use.

There's a very unfortunate bug in Ubuntu Maverick 10.10, where System > About Ubuntu tells you that you're running 11.04. This is bug 690248 (see also https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-docs/+question/140815). If you're unsure of what version of Ubuntu you are running, you can find out by running the command "lsb_release -d" (without the quotes) in the Terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal).

Krishna: If you are using Ubuntu 10.10 or above, just copy and paste '₹' into your documents!

If you are using another operating system you may need to install the Ubuntu Font Family fonts first. As noted above, see:

Can you help with this problem?

Provide an answer of your own, or ask Krishna for more information if necessary.
