Public bug reported:

The Linux Libertine fonts include the Indian Rupee sign (₹) at U+20A8.
However, this code point is meant for the old rupee symbol (₨, like Rs).
This symbol is used for the currency of Pakistan and sometimes those of
other countries. In this context, the Indian symbol ₹ is incorrect and
shouldn't be used. The correct codepoint for the symbol of the *Indian*
rupee is U+20B9.

Other fonts have these symbols in the right places.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupee#Symbol and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_rupee_sign (which make no sense
when the font is set to Linux Libertine)
