In 2013, the Central Bank of the Russian Federation officially approved a new symbol for the ruble instead of the abbreviation "rub", which was used in financial reports, when printing price tags, and so on. This sign was recognized as the international designation of the Russian currency, and its code value was included in the symbol table of special signs. Therefore, when writing documents, when specifying monetary amounts, it became convenient to use this symbol. However, not all users know how to insert a ruble symbol in Word. Below we provide detailed instructions.
Note! The ruble symbol is available only in Word 2016. In earlier versions of the editor, this sign is not available. Therefore, the demo of the paste will be held in the 2016 version.

Nowadays, everyone knows what the designation of the ruble looks like. You can see the symbol of this currency in the article. In it, we will talk not only about its history. We will also tell you about how to enter the ruble symbol in the text input field. of course, not specified, but still there are ways to enter it. In this article, we'll take a look at all of them.
Initially, of course, it is worth paying attention to the history of the origin of the symbol. how currencies appeared back in the distant thirteenth century. And almost immediately there was a need to reduce it. There were a lot of variations, but the first known version that became known to us was a combination of two letters - "p" and "y". One thing can be said unequivocally: this abbreviation appeared as a result of the evolution of the then written language in Russian. By the way, this abbreviation originated in the 17th century and was used until the 19th.
Nowadays, another designation for the ruble is the symbol "₽". However, it is worth noting that this spelling is relevant only for banknotes of Russian origin, and everyone knows that the ruble is used in three countries: Russia, Belarus and in the unrecognized Transnistria. It is different for every country.
But in the article we will only talk about the Russian ruble.
So, we have already done the main thing, we have indicated the designation of the ruble. We know the symbol, and now it's time to tell you how to enter it from the keyboard. The first method that we will use appeared relatively recently, in 2013. But it is worth noting that Microsoft has not implemented this symbol in all of its operating systems, but only in the current ones.
So, continuing to talk about the designation of the ruble, you will not find the symbol on the keyboard, as mentioned above. Here you will need to use the keyboard shortcut - Alt + 8.
Everything is quite simple, after pressing these two keys, the ruble symbol will be printed in the place where you put the cursor. But it’s worth noting that you need to hold down Alt, not left, and enter the eight on the top numeric keypad, otherwise nothing will work.

What to do if you urgently need to enter the ruble symbol? The symbol in Word will help you with this. So, now let's look at a way to insert a ruble symbol into a document using the symbol table in Word.
This is done quite simply, the main thing for you is to initially open the table itself. To do this, go to the "Insert" tab. Now on the toolbar you need to find the "Symbol" button. Click on it, and in the drop-down menu, select "Other Symbols". Visually, you can see the whole process in the picture below.
Now you have the desired table. As you can see, there are an unimaginable number of characters, manually searching for the right one will take a long time. In order to facilitate the search, you can select "Currency" in the "Set" drop-down list. After that, different countries will appear in front of you. Find the one you want and click the "Insert" button. Pay attention to the sign code, it will come in handy later.
Remember that code that you should have paid attention to? It is he who is the hexadecimal code of this character. Now let's look at how it should be used to enter the ruble symbol.
And there is practically nothing to do here, you just need to enter the code and press ALT + X. But for greater clarity, let's look at an example.

After that, the code will turn into the character we need. If you want to know other character codes, then for this you can view them in the table with characters, simply by highlighting the desired element. The "Character code" field will show a set of four characters, which is the hexadecimal code of the selected character.
Well, the last way is generally for the lazy, although few people know about it. With the help, you can insert not only a printable character into a document, but also the picture of this character itself. To do this, the picture or symbol must first be placed on the clipboard, that is, simply copied. When the desired object is in the buffer, make sure that you do not copy something else there, otherwise nothing will work.

Many solid world currencies listed on the foreign exchange market have their own symbol (ligature) used for shorthand. The US dollar has it - it's the well-known "$", the Japanese yen - "¥", the oldest pound sterling - "£" and even the youngest currency - the euro also has its own short designation - "€", which she acquired in as a result of the painful elections and anguish that ended in December 1996.
But one of the most stable currencies in the world - the Swiss franc still lacks its own ligature, and the Chinese yuan did not do it right by assigning itself the designation of the Japanese yen - it turns out that this happens.
In Russia, the idea of creating its own currency designation has been in the air for a long time, but it was not until early December 2013 that a new ruble sign was finally chosen.
Attempts to start developing a short designation of the Russian currency were made back in 1997, after the denomination. Several variants associated with the Latin letter "R" were developed, but a default came and the matter stopped. In 1997, the competition was held by the Financier magazine, the result was 300 spellings, but none of them was approved.
The second similar competition was held in 1999 by the Dengi magazine, after which 2 more competitions followed - from the newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda, held in 2005-2006, and from RIA Novosti.
The now winning symbol was developed in 2007 by an initiative group created by the famous designer Erken Kagarov, which included Designet, DesignDepo, Imadesign and other companies.
When choosing the most interesting and suitable options, the compliance of the ligature with the following requirements was taken into account:
This is only a part of the objective requirements - there are also subjective ones, such as the speed and ease of identification, the harmonious perception of the logo in a number of symbols of other currencies, the absence of negative, ambiguous or dubious associations, and others.
Many people ask: " Why do we need this logo for our currency?". After all, we lived without him for almost five centuries - since the time of the ruble reform of Elena Glinskaya, the famous mother of Ivan the Terrible.
According to the Central Bank, in other leading countries of the world, currency symbols began to appear with the involvement of national currencies in international circulation. So the symbols that appeared received recognition on the world stage. So the presence of its own sign will contribute to the recognition of the Russian currency throughout the world, its recognition.
E. Nabiullina believes that the graphic image emphasizes the stability of the ruble.
According to Nikolai Zhuravlev, "the sign of the national currency, its presence is an international practice, now the Russian ruble has ceased to be an exception to the rule in this sense." He also answered the question of what gives the country the presence of a currency logo: "the official approval of the symbol of the Russian currency will increase its authority in the world market and become the basis for the unification of the graphic designation."
According to Alexander Troshin, First Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council, the appearance of a currency designation on keyboard layouts will help promote the logo around the world.
As is known from various sources, in the recent 2013, the ruble, like many other currencies, acquired its own symbol.
The ruble sign has already been implemented in some fonts and in HTML markup. In HTML, by the way, the character code is:
₽ ₽Many online stores, and other sites related to monetary transactions, are actively replacing the usual "Rub", "RUB" and "r." to the new sign of the ruble. But there is one problem- not every computer has this symbol, and instead of the ruble symbol, we observe the following:
And this is the picture that most of your clients may have. And this needs to be corrected as soon as possible, because without the presence of the corresponding currency sign, we mislead your customers and, thereby, lose precious customers.

2. Then we write a little style for it:
Rub ( line-height: 5px; width: 0.4em; border-bottom: 1px solid #000; display: inline-block; )
Save and see what we got:
In my opinion - very good. Optionally, you can change the size of the horizontal strip, its color and position relative to the letter "P".
