Not all font's have been updated to include this glyph. The official code position is U+20B9 (HTML ₹). If you have a font that includes this glyph then all you have to do is set the font name to the font and input this value (Keyboard Alt 8377)

The comment and the advice by Prasad Khandekar is correct.

This is a well-known problem This symbol was recently (10 August 2010) standardized by Unicode committee, but not yet implemented by most of the fonts:

You need to supply the appropriate font on your site and use it. Please see:

Yes it's possible to show new rupee symbol in SSRS reports.

Follow the steps

SELECT nchar(0x20B9)

2. Copy Output Symbol
3. Paste in your textbox in SSRS
4. Change that text symbol font to : DejaVu Sans
