How to type the Indian Rupee Symbol?

I want to type the Indian Rupee Symbol. So I went to System Settings >> Keyboard Layout and clicked on the Options button. Under the Adding Currency signs to keys sections, I checked the Rupee on 4 option.

Later when I opened the Layout Chart of the Keyboard there was Rupee sign in the 4 key but I do not know how to type the symbol. What combination of the keys will type the Rupee symbol on the screen?

It is right side ALT + 4 while using English (India, with rupee sign ) keyboard layout.

Simply type " Text Entry " in dash and you will be able to select/add keyboard layouts. This works in 16.04 LTS.

1. Add English(India, with Rupee sign) layout in Keyboard settings.
2. Select this layout in the applet on the panel.
3. Use alt gr+4, if your keyboard has ₹ symbol on 4.
