It was a very pleasant feeling for me as this was the first time I saw Rupee Symbol being used while business discussion and with great ease as if it had always existed. This happened when I was in Dhaka, Bangladesh, two weeks back. I was sitting in the office of our business contact Mr Matin, who has several business interests the country. While I was waiting for him to drive me to a meeting with the government officials, there was another person in his office visiting him from India for another line of business. Though, due to basic mannerism, I do not like to overhear a business conversation, which doesnt involve me, the discussion was very conspicuous for me to over look. The Indian visitor was quoting some prices by writing them down in a piece of paper to a manager from Mr Matin's office. While doing so, this visitor was writing the Rupee Symbol against the price quoted, which really impressed me, what impressed me more, the way his Bangladeshi counter part accepted the usage of the symbol without a question.
This was my first encounter of seeing Indian Rupee Symbol going global.
