How to change rupee symbol

Question

Hiii

I am using magento 1.4,I want to change indian currency symbol Rs with new rupee symbol on frontend as well as backend.

Anyone Can tell me about this???

Answer 1

If I'm not wrong the symbol definitions can be found into

lib/Zend/Locale/Data/characters.xml
lib/Zend/Locale/Data/root.xml

If you change those values then copy those files to your local code-pool

app/code/local/Zend/Locale/Data/characters.xml
app/code/local/Zend/Locale/Data/root.xml

when done don't forget to clear cache

rm -rf var/cache/*
