Problem conclusion

• Updated currency symbols.
  For Ukrainian Hryvnia the new currency symbol is the Unicode cod
  e point 0x20B4, it shows as a square in most fonts, because the
  sign is fairly newly introduced and fonts don't have the glyph f
  or it yet.
  The Indian rupee currency symbol is the Unicode code point 0x20A
  8, and we are already using the right symbol. The symbol should
  be rendered by fonts as Rs. Some older fonts render it as Rp, de
  pending on how up to date they are.
