What is the Unicode code point for the ruble symbol?

The ruble sign is U+20BD, officially named RUBLE SIGN. The Bank of Russia approved the design in December 2013, and Unicode added the character in version 7.0 (June 2014).

Is there a Windows Alt code for the ruble symbol?

Not a classic one. Alt codes like Alt+0128 for the euro come from the Windows-1252 code page, which was finalized long before the ruble sign existed. Instead, type 20BD then press Alt+X in Word, or use the Windows emoji panel (Win + .) and search "ruble".

How do I type ₽ on a Mac?

The ruble sign is not on a standard US Mac keyboard layout. Open Character Viewer with Control+Command+Space and search "ruble", or switch to the Unicode Hex Input source and type Option+20BD.

What is the HTML entity for the ruble symbol?

There is no short named entity like €. Use the numeric entity ₽ or the hex form ₽, both render the same ₽ character in HTML.

How do I type ₽ on a Russian keyboard?

Support varies by keyboard and driver version. Some newer Russian layouts map it to AltGr+8, but not every keyboard includes it. If that combination does not work on your machine, use the Unicode input methods above instead.

Why does the ruble symbol show as a box or question mark in old software?

Because U+20BD is a relatively recent addition to Unicode, older fonts and legacy encodings may not include a glyph for it. Switching to a modern font with UTF-8 text usually fixes it.
