## Descripción

**WP RupeeFont** is a lightweight WordPress plugin that automatically converts “
Rs” or “Rs.” in your content to the **Indian Rupee symbol (₹)** — the official sign
for the Indian Rupee (INR), Unicode code point U+20B9.

Once activated, every `Rs 100`, `Rs.100`, or `Rs. 100` written in your posts, pages,
excerpts, and text widgets is rendered as `₹ 100` on the front end. No JavaScript,
no bundled fonts, no external requests, no configuration.

#### Why a plugin for the rupee symbol?

The ₹ symbol was introduced by the Government of India in 2010 and added to Unicode
the same year. Most systems render it natively today, but a lot of older WordPress
content was written with “Rs” or “Rs.” because the Unicode character wasn’t widely
supported at the time. This plugin upgrades that legacy text to the modern Indian
Rupee symbol on the fly — without you having to find-and-replace anything in your
database.

#### Features

 * **Server-side conversion** — runs in PHP via standard WordPress filters; no flash
   of unconverted content.
 * **Zero front-end overhead** — no JavaScript, no CSS, no font files loaded on 
   your site.
 * **Zero configuration** — install, activate, done.
 * **Word-boundary matching** — words like “Mrs” and “users” are never touched.
 * **Code-safe** — text inside `<script>`, `<style>`, `<pre>`, `<code>`, and `<textarea
   >` is left alone.
 * **Block editor and classic editor** both supported.
 * **Filters covered:** `the_content`, `the_excerpt`, `widget_text`, `widget_block_content`.
 * **Single PHP file** — no dependencies, no admin UI, no database tables.

#### Common use cases

 * Indian blogs and news sites with legacy “Rs” pricing in older articles.
 * Business and personal sites listing prices in Indian Rupees.
 * Travel, finance, and review sites that mention rupee amounts in post content.
 * Any WordPress site migrating older content to the modern Unicode rupee symbol.

#### About the Indian Rupee Symbol (₹)

The Indian Rupee sign (₹) was officially adopted by the Government of India on 15
July 2010, designed by D. Udaya Kumar of IIT Guwahati. The design combines the Devanagari
letter “र” (ra) with a horizontal stroke representing the Indian tricolour. Its 
Unicode code point is **U+20B9 INDIAN RUPEE SIGN**, added in Unicode 6.0, and the
ISO 4217 currency code for the Indian Rupee is **INR**.

## Capturas

[⌊"Rs" in post content rendered as ₹.⌉⌊"Rs" in post content rendered as ₹.⌉[

“Rs” in post content rendered as ₹.

## Instalación

 1. Upload the plugin to `/wp-content/plugins/` or install it via the **Plugins  Add
    New** screen.
 2. Activate it through the **Plugins** menu.
 3. Done — there is no configuration screen. Existing “Rs” / “Rs.” text in your posts
    will display as ₹ immediately.

## Preguntas frecuentes

### How do I add the Indian Rupee symbol (₹) to my WordPress site?

Install and activate WP RupeeFont. Any “Rs” or “Rs.” already written in your posts,
pages, excerpts, and text widgets will render as ₹ on the front end automatically.
There are no shortcodes, no settings, and no database changes.

### What is the Unicode for the Indian Rupee symbol?

The Indian Rupee sign is **U+20B9** in Unicode (named INDIAN RUPEE SIGN), introduced
in Unicode 6.0 in October 2010. The character itself is ₹.

### How does the plugin convert Rs to ₹?

It hooks into the standard WordPress content filters and runs a server-side PHP 
regular expression that matches “Rs” or “Rs.” at word boundaries and replaces them
with the Unicode character ₹. The conversion happens before the page is sent to 
the browser, so visitors never see “Rs” flicker on screen.

### Does the plugin load any JavaScript or fonts?

No. Version 2.0 removed all bundled JavaScript, CSS, and font files. The plugin 
adds zero requests and zero bytes to your front-end page weight.

### Does it work with the block editor (Gutenberg)?

Yes. The plugin filters `the_content`, which is what both the block editor and the
classic editor produce on the front end.

### Will it touch text inside code blocks or scripts?

No. Text inside `<script>`, `<style>`, `<pre>`, `<code>`, and `<textarea>` is left
untouched, so code samples and embedded scripts are not affected.

### Why is “Mrs” or “users” not converted?

The plugin uses a word-boundary match, so “Rs” only converts when it stands alone
as a word. Words that happen to contain the letters “Rs” are never changed.

### Why is lowercase “rs” not converted?

Conversion is case-sensitive (only “Rs” or “Rs.”). This is a deliberate choice to
avoid false positives such as filenames, identifiers, and words that contain “rs”
in lowercase.

### Does this plugin affect prices shown by e-commerce or shop plugins?

No. E-commerce plugins render prices through their own templating, not through `
the_content`, so this plugin does not change cart, checkout, product, or order prices.
Most e-commerce plugins already support Indian Rupee as a built-in currency option—
that is the right place to configure store pricing. WP RupeeFont is for ordinary
post and page text.

### Where in the post content does it run?

On `the_content` (post body), `the_excerpt` (excerpts), `widget_text` (legacy text
widgets), and `widget_block_content` (block widgets).

### How do I disable it for a specific filter?

Call `remove_filter( 'the_content', 'wp_rupeefont_convert' );` (or any of the other
filter names) from your theme’s `functions.php` or another plugin.
