What of this prior effort, proposing B-with-horizontal-bar (Ƀ)? http://bitcoinsymbol.org/
They argue that B-with-2-vertical-bars is easily confused with the Thai Bhat currency symbol, which is a B with a single vertical bar. I'm not terribly fond of the B-with-horizontal-bar as a symbol, but it does have the advantage that it is already in the Unicode glyph set, already available on most Unicode enabled devices. -Danny On Sat, Sep 5, 2015 at 7:11 AM, Ken Shirriff via bitcoin-dev < bitcoin-dev@lists.linuxfoundation.org> wrote: > Use of the bitcoin symbol in text is inconvenient, because the bitcoin > symbol isn't in the Unicode standard.
