Print Indian rupee symbol using OVIO Bluetooth thermal printer
I am using an OVIO Bluetooth thermal printer. I want to print the Indian Rupee symbol (₹). When i append the symbol to string and send the string to be printed, everything is printed fine other than the symbol. A "?" symbol is printed instead of "₹". I have set charset encoding to UTF-8.
You can find the printer manual from THIS LINK. In the manual, on Page 11, there is an option to define user-defined character but don't know how that can be achieved.

The printer manual doesn't say anything about Unicode support. Instead, it mentions old-school PC "code pages", and it has a very short list of supported code pages, none of which sound like any kind of south asian / indian subcontinent scripts. So I think it simply doesn't contain the symbol you want to print. I think you're out of luck unless you can find a way to feed the printer custom graphics or put it in raster mode or something.

So I guess I'm confirming that you are going to have to do what you said in your last sentence: create a user-defined character and tell it to print that.

But then I don't know how that can be achieved. By the way, thanks for the quick response.
