It is shown by the Monte Carlo method that finite-size scaling (FSS) holds in the two-dimensional randomly coupled Ising ferromagnet. It is also demonstrated that the form of the universal FSS function constructed via a FSS scheme depends on the strength of the random coupling in the case of strongly disordered systems. Monte Carlo measurements of thermodynamic (infinite-volume-limit) data of the correlation length (\ensuremathξ) up to \ensuremathξ\ensuremath≃200 along with measurements of the fourth-order cumulant ratio (Binder cumulant ratio) at criticality are analyzed in light of two competing scenarios of weak universality and the multiplicative logarithmic correction. It is demonstrated that the data are likely to be more consistent with the former scenario than the latter which is the conventional scenario.
