Currency Conversion: Currency IA doesn't support "₽'" as Russian Ruble symbol

[adityatandon007]

The queries like 100 $ in £ trigger

but queries like 100 $ in ₽ doesn't

My view : I tried to look into this problem as I was expecting it to trigger for russian ruble query. I noticed that in Currency.pm we are using \p{Currency_Symbol} class selector and using it in regex. I don't get it first why we are doing that we have our own currency codes in currencySymbols.yml file. In fact what I deducted is that we aren't using my $currencyCodes = LoadFile share("currencySymbols.yml");, we have just loaded this but instead of using it we are using \p{Currency_Symbol}. So, what I can deduct is that ₽ sign is not present in that class selector. Now, I might be wrong, let me know if I am.

@adityatandon007 Please see this comment: https://github.com/duckduckgo/zeroclickinfo-spice/issues/3379#issuecomment-318326790 I want to try and avoid creating issues for edge cases. Just create a master issue for Currency Edge cases and add all of these to that.

edit: We can do the same for Conversions and Calculator.
