Removed the "₨" (U+20A8, RUPEE SIGN) example symbol. There are a few different rupee symbols in Unicode, but anyone who uses "Rs" or "Rp" spells it out rather than using "¤" (U+00A4, CURRENCY SIGN) if their font doesn't happen to have the ligature. --67.183.217.186 23:07, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Danish quote: "¤ slettede den foregående karakter. ¤¤ slettede bagud indtil førstkommende ordmellemrum. ¤¤¤ slettede hele linjen. Sletning derudover krævede manuel sammenkrølning af manuskriptarket og henkastning i papirkurv, husker Leif Jonasson."
