Title: The Slashed Capital "B" Bitcon Symbol
Post by: plogank on September 16, 2011, 05:14:36 AM
I see the Bitcoin symbol used in documents and I'm wondering how that's done.  Is there a way to obtain and use that symbol in a Word document for example?

Thanks.

I would recommend against using the baht-symbol for Bitcoin, since it already is the official symbol of Thai currency, baht. This could lead to confusion.

Does anyone else think of bitcoins 24/7 and even dream of them?
