The "locale currency" is set in your computer locale.  It is *NOT* set
in the GnuCash Application.  The GnuCash application will set your
'default currency' which is *NOT* the same as the "locale currency".
The locale currency is purely what your computer system thinks is the
"local currency".  This means you must have your computer set such that
"INR" is your local currency (probably because your system is set to an
Indian location).

GnuCash will *ALWAYS* use the locale currency symbol.

If it is not displaying for you then you have a font problem.  You
should find a font that has the correct symbol.
