Shift + key not typing smaller case when caps lock is on

I guess the title says it all.

• pressing a types a
• pressing Shift + a types A
• (Caps lock on) pressing a types A
• (Caps lock on) pressing Shift + a types A

On windows, (Caps lock on) pressing Shift + a types a, but I don't know why it isn't working on Ubuntu. Is this a bug or is it a "feature"? How can I fix it?

I am using an external (bluetooth) keyboard (Dell) but I can confirm that it isn't the keyboard's problem, since the problem even occurs when I use the inbuilt keyboard.

My language is set to English (India, with rupee) but it doesn't work even if I change it to English (US)

EDIT: If I change it to English (UK) it works fine... How can I make it work with English (India, with rupee)?

If using an English (UK) selected keyboard in Settings → Language and Region then the rupee symbol can be achieved by using the following key combination ctrlshiftu then type 20b9 as a constant string without releasing the keys which produces the Unicode character ₹ for the Indian rupee.

There may also be an opportunity to use a keyboard shortcut for this if required (if used frequently) with US keyboard layout selected in Settings using AltGr4 which on the Eglish(UK) will produce the Euro symbol €.

Equally, this resource provides a simple way to copy/paste the rupee symbol.
