You may try:

if(this.currency.equals("\u20B9")) {
    r="₹ "+r;
}

"\u20B9"

is the java encoding for the rupee character.

Your problem doesn’t seem to be that important for the comparison part of this snippet, but is mainly related to printing, to display that characters are correctly wrapped System.out

in OutputPrintWriter

with UTF-8 encoding, which is the configuration needed on some OSs:



OutputStreamWriter stdOut=new OutputStreamWriter(System.out,"UTF8");
stdOut.println("₹");

    String string = "\u20B9";
    byte[] utf8 = string.getBytes("UTF-8");

    string = new String(utf8, "UTF-8");
    System.out.println(string);

Try the following:

String s="₹";

if(s.equalsIgnoreCase("₹")) {
  System.out.println("if condition"+s);
}

  • Enable "UTF-8" in your editor (eclipse / netbean)
  • Or use unicode ("\ u20B9").
