Here is a one-liner perl:
perl -e 'binmode(STDOUT, ":utf8");print "\x{20B9}\n"'

Output:
₹

Explanation:
1) binmode(STDOUT, ":utf8");
Sets the out standard output from perl to support UTF8. This UTF8 allows you to display extended symbols

2) Unicode value for Rupee is U+20B9 (Refer Wikipedia)

3) To display this
print "\x{20B9}\n"
Pushes this symbol to standard Output. And above setting (1) configured Standard Output to support it's output, which is ₹

You may embed this snippet in your code.
I hope it helps others too! :)
