Description Nikhil Arora 2014-12-26 18:43:43 UTC 
On Windows, the Indian Rupee Symbol has re-started appearing as "?" marks across the application. This Bug was raised earlier (Bug #711317) and had been resolved in GnuCash 2.4.14, but has re-appeared since GnuCash 2.6.4.

Please resolve this at the earliest - it is very difficult for us in India to upgrade with this bug. 

Thanks,
Nikhil.

I too faced this issue with 2.6.5 
So I downgraded back to 2.6.3
Comment 2 ayurtsev 2015-01-13 09:27:05 UTC 
I am also facing this issue with the RUB currency (Russian Ruble). Looks like the same problem.

Windows 8 64-bit gnucash 2.6.5
Comment 3 insp 2015-01-13 16:15:29 UTC 
I found a work around, See: bug # 742868 (but still this needs to be fixed)

Comment 5 ayurtsev 2015-01-13 17:09:40 UTC 
Thanks, the workaround helped. Though, it worked without adding the '.' symbol.
I just changed the '?' to the RUB symbol (U20BD) in the securities dialogue and thats all.
Comment 6 vasu.msbits 2015-01-15 11:43:34 UTC 
Thanks @insp for the work around.
I've edited the same way but I suffixed a space instead of '.' after INR symbol;
I looks perfect now
Comment 7 Frank H. Ellenberger 2015-03-07 03:03:45 UTC 
Geert, if a string containing the symbol is handled correct, could it be a wrong conversion of single chars - interpreted as ASCII (1 Byte) instead of UTF (up to 4 byte)?
Comment 8 John Ralls 2016-10-05 20:37:47 UTC 
Close. This is Windows, which is supposed to use UTF-16 for display. Supposed to. See bug 772411 for another example of it not working. It sure looks like GLib's UTF-8 to UTF-16 code isn't working right.
