Talk:Ruble sign

R in the English alphabet

Russian Р is not pronounced like the English R at all. The phrasing is very problematic. --2001:16B8:316A:1700:59D1:21CE:E51:D101 (talk) 17:24, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

The ruble sign (₽, ) ...

I question the value of the second glyph, certainly in the lead, possibly at all. It is a poorly made fuzzy image. I can't see what it adds. It doesn't summarise body content. If it is supposed to represent the 'pre-official' ruble sign (which is indeed described in the body) and if that merits mention in the lead (which is not obvious) then it ought to be done explicitly. My inclination is to just delete it but perhaps there is a good reason for its presence? --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 21:22, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

delete=OK, it is *not* a different sign. -DePiep (talk) 21:57, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

 Done. My guess is that it was an intercept file pending the glyph getting into browsers and major fonts. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 22:29, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

R in the English alphabet

As of today, the text reads

It features a sans-serif Cyrillic letter Р (R in the English alphabet) with an additional horizontal stroke.

Am I being excessively picky or should this be changed to "a sans-serif Cyrillic letter Р (R in the Latin-script alphabet"? It might respond to the anon editor's comment above that the letters don't sound alike - it depends on the accent of the speaker. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 00:18, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

When I'm logged in, I might edit this myself. I think equivalent to R in the Latin script is the best phrasing.
