Answer 1

It has no ASCII code. Only the Unicode values U+0000 to U+007F have ASCII codes.

Some non-standard fonts assigned the Indian rupee sign to replace the ASCII grave accent (`) which is ASCII 60 (and Unicode U+0060). This is a stupidly incorrect assignment that won’t work with fonts other than the few that proudly and wrongly made the assignment.

Answer 2

ASCII does not include a code point for the Indian Rupee symbol. You cannot get the ASCII value for it because it doesn't exist. That's why they invented Unicode.
