I can confirm that these symbols don’t render in an up-to-date Chromebook laptop due to their absence in the bundled Noto system fonts. An update containing these would be welcome.

Supporting this request. U+20C4 OMANI RIAL SIGN was accepted by the UTC on 2026-01-22 for Unicode 18.0. The Central Bank of Oman publishes the official artwork and rules for typeface designers, including digit-height alignment and placement to the left of the numeral, at https://cbo.gov.om/omrsymbol. The Noto fonts are the fallback for this character on Android and Google Fonts, so coverage here matters for products that cannot rely on OS fonts.

I've heard today that this will be commissioned. I don't have a date for when it will be drawn, but it is going to happen.
