When I saw "Rs", given that I work in an academically-related field, I first interpreted it as relating to the R statistical language.

Then, during the parsing of the title, my second interpretation was that "Rs 199" was the model number of some sort.

The letters "Rs" do not, as someone from North America, mean a currency to me. IMHO, using a 'special' character like ₹ would help me interpret things better.

(But that's just me.)



If you work with R wouldn't it just be R? I've never seen R Studio abbreviated to Rs. If anything I could see a programmer interpreting it as rust but the capitalized R would be weird.
