I am developing an eCommerce application and one of the features is that users can choose their currencies. Now, I noticed that when somebody selects the Russian Ruble, the symbol shows as just a square in Chrome on iOS (version 7.1). Why is that?
It should show this:
₽
but it shows this:
▢
Note that I am using the HTML code to display it:
₽
On the desktop version (iMac) it shows fine and I imagine on other operating systems, too.
Anybody got a clue why it's not showing in iOS?
Ruble symbol supports only iOS 8+.
The Unicode consortium officially designated a code point, U+20BD RUBLE SIGN, ₽, for the new symbol in Unicode 7.0, released 2014-06-16. iOS7 was released earlier. Last entry in this Unicode chart
