Hi Ivjyot,

Thanks for your comments. But if you see the I have described to write it in the link http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/3128/image031.gif.

Also, there were many complex symbols in ancient India like swastika, kalpurus etc. and also in other cultures and people then was more blunt than today. Also, please remember the first expression of man started with complex signs/ symbols signifying pictures. Therefore, I don’t think it will be a problemm for tghem to deal tthis symbol – For the positive aspects, you can see the symbol is so unique and so compact with all the requisites it should, it becomes a complete one.

You will find whatever, you suggested as part of it, and many more like Swastika symbol, King’s face used in ancient currencies, Ashok Chakra, Number 0, letters e.g, R,S,P,U,E,I etc. even र or रु, holy signs like sacred kalash and also the sign of stability along with its negotiation with foriegn currencies with the use of horizontal bar having two open arms facing upward & downward to keep up with market fluctuation and finally as a whole visual representation of an emperor with one sword facing upward in right hand to fight enemies and the other one in left hand facing downward to hole peace in his country but yet it is so simple!
I think it’s not at all complicated as it consists of 1 P, 1 O and 1 horizontal S. It is a three Stroke symbol, whereas $, £ are two stroke symbols and €, ¥ are of three strokes.
Even, this symbol can be written in a single stroke by starting from the downside of P , followed by the O in anti-clockwise direction and finally the horizontal S. Moreover, the pattern is so unique that ambiguity will never arise with other letters/ currencies/numbers even if written carelessly or in too hurry.
