Android’s system font may not have our Indian currency symbol. You should use your own font embedded in you application to achieve this. and is required to support older versions of Android devices too.
You can download font from here or from here
And follow this tutorial to know about font embedding : http://www.barebonescoder.com/2010/05/android-development-using-custom-fonts/
