You've (accidentally) turned on "high contrast text" accessibility option, an experimental feature on Lollipop. From Google official support,
High contrast text
This information applies only to devices running Android 5.0 and higher.
High contrast makes text easier to read on your device. This feature fixes the text color as either black or white, ...

Google recently released Google Hindi IME (Input Method Editor, a techy name for keyboard) which I now saw with my friend's Nexus 4. It has the requested Rupee symbol:

As it seems you can access your device via ADB, you should be able to remount /system read/write to repair that file, using
adb remount
After that, you can copy the intact DroidSans.ttf to /system/fonts, overwriting the 0-byte-file. Following a reboot, /system will be mounted read-only again, and everything should be working.
In case that adb remount ...

I just tried opening "n-category cafe" using Chrome in my Nexus 5, and it works normally.
So it's probably just a problem with your browser settings.
Check if you are allowing sites to run Javascript by going to Settings -> Site Settings -> Javascipt in your Chrome browser.

This answer from StackOverflow (How to change font size by adb command) provides a solution. The command used to set the font size is:
adb shell settings put system font_scale {float_representing_the_scale}
or if you are using a terminal emulator in Android
settings put system font_scale {float_representing_the_scale}
Examples:
settings put system ...

You can try SwiftKey. It shows the rupee symbol over the key 'X'.
Just make sure you set the language of your phone to "English (India)" otherwise you won't get the rupee symbol (link).

On Android 9 it's Noto CJK, e. g. "Noto Sans CJK JP" font family (located in /system/fonts/NotoSansCJK-Regular.ttc). There is no DroidSansFallback.ttf anymore.

If you've rooted your device, the quick and easy way I found was to get Font Installer
and search the internet for Arial Unicode MS.ttf
-Make sure to do a Nandroid backup before screwing with the system fonts. Bad things can happen.
Here's a test page that contains Unicode characters not supported by Android's default font set: http://users.otenet.gr/~gmcr/...

If you merely changed the font, then you can simply look at /etc/system_fonts.xml to see which font it's set to use. If you have a good file manager and a good text editor, then you can just browse to the file and look. You might need to make a copy on your SD card and rename the copy to end in .txt.
If you actually replaced a system font file, then you'll ...

Android keeps track of fallback fonts via a file at /etc/fallback_fonts.xml. After adding your fonts to /system/fonts, you can add a new family node to the XML file like this.
<familyset>
<family>
<fileset>
<file>Custom-Font.ttf</file>
<file>Another-Custom-Font.ttf</file>

You will have to find someone with the same phone as you (rooted) and find the font files and send them to yourself and copy them into the location of your font files and do a reboot. Worked for me. Or you can find a dump for your phone and download those files and find the font in there and place those into your font files. (Friend did that and it worked as ...

It depends on the NotoColorEmoji.ttf font file you have installed. If that file doesn't include a glyph for the Unicode code point you want, it can't show it. Here's an SO post about fonts and glyphs:

Caveat: The exact files and format vary between Android versions. In both Android O and P (at least on LineageOS), the correct file is /etc/fonts.xml, and it has a warning not to use it. As of writing, I don't have any devices on Q to test with. So consider this answer historical even if it's still useful.
Warning as of Android P's fonts.xml (see here for ...

It looks like a glitch in the font rendering process. If it is an in memory glitch, you may be able to resolve it by restarting the device. If it persists across restarts, then it is possibly either a corrupted font file or there's a bug in the font loader. In either case, you'd want to try to see if a restart resolves it.

As mentioned in this answer, there are several apps which allow you to install custom fonts. Not all devices support this without rooting, so YMMV.
Font Installer and iFont seem like good options.

I've found the solution. I was easily able to fix it by using pinch gestures on the screen. It works the same as viewing a webpage. Pinch apart to zoom in, pinch together to zoom out.

I found two ways for changing font size in JuiceSSH.
Use Volume keys
The very first time you would've used JuiceSSH, you might have come across this brief tutorial:
(Click image to enlarge)
Use the Volume Up/Down keys to adjust the size of the font.
Traditional way (Settings)
On the default page of JuiceSSH, go to Settings → Font size → adjust it.

Install gujarati fonts in Android
Google has finally added Gujarati fonts to Android 5.0 (Lollipop) in the Nexus line of phones. The fonts are called Noto Sans Gujarati and Noto Sans Gujarati UI and both come in regular and bold versions, though they are seemingly indistinguishable. Google still has to add Gujarati keyboard input though ...

Can someone please explain all the steps involved in the process of displaying the Indic font by Firefox browser (in the particular scenario explained above)? The indicfont.ttf was placed in the /system/fonts directory.

To answer the second part of your question first:
'Why does the previous solution only work on Firefox browser and not on other mobile browsers?'
You are using TTF file. This type of font file is supported by firefox , Safari and Chrome. The other browsers may not support it. For eg: IE supports EOT ; Opera supports SVG etc. But mostly all android browsers ...

Not sure about keyboard font but maybe you can change the font in apps. Check out this link - Custom fonts in apps. And also this link - Custom fonts in apps 2.
Link 2 is from external site.

I believe the font is called Droid. A few variations (sans, sans mono, serif, condensed) are available from DroidFonts.com, though it should be noted that Droid Sans may be the only to contain Chinese characters.
Each of the Droid fonts was custom designed by Ascender and optimized for on-screen legibility with the Android platform. ...

Fonts are always stored at /system/fonts. By changing the system font to Chinese, and looking in that directory, you may be able to find the font.
Hope this helps.

You should follow the developer's step-by-step instructions.
To summarise, if you downloaded a zip file, first unzip it (using any zip file app) to get to the .ttf or .otf file, then click that file to open it in Phonto, which will add the font.

I have not seen any setting to change the font size. However, you can pinch-in and pinch-out to zoom.
