Unable to get Rupee symbol (₹) in the PDF

[joydeeproni]

I am using the latest version of jsPDF v1.3.2.
I am trying to get Rupee symbol (₹) in my pdf but when i put ₹ symbol in the doc.text() it outputs a superscript 1 & the letters of the word gets spaced.

Example:
doc.setFont('helvetica')
doc.setFontType('bold')
doc.text(20, 50, 'This is the new ₹ symbol')

Output:
T h i s i s t h e n e w ¹ s y m b o l

I don't know how to fix it, I tried using the rupee HTML code but nothing happens.

You try to use an UTF-8 symbol but utf-8 is not supported by jspdf.

Use instead of Rupee Symbol e.g. INR

@saurabhgis
If you refer to #1448
No, i did not checked Urdu, because I just know arabic and persian, and i did not even checked if persian is working xD.

But it should be easily to extend it for Urdu.
