20.99~ The tilde as a candidate for the currency symbol for bits or bitcoin

[AtheistAKASaneBrain]

How about △? The pyramid symbol (U+25B3). 

You have to think that people would need to manually type the whole thing to get the symbol. A symbol that is inmediate in universal keyboards is better than some weird one. Or lets just call it uBTC.

Delta? It's not Ditcoin.

I also use tilde for approximation, and would find the use of it for an exact currency value confusing/offsetting based on that.

Why not creating a custom symbol? we created the custom BTC symbol anyway.

I say BTC or ฿ for BTC, and ƀ for bits (millionth of a BTC). Several wallets, including breadwallet (the best and most popular wallet on iOS) already use this.

Agreed. We already have several good symbols and if you can't use them just write 'bits' or 'btc'.

I prefer BTC with 2 lines horizontal or vertical to a B anytime over ~,~ looks and and can be used way to generally, as far as typing BTC it on a keyboard is concerned it can always be used from an editor, uploaded or simply copy and pasted

Problem with your proposal: The possible interpretation is too broad. Nobody knows which currency you mean when using "~". This means you could use "~" when describing any (abstract) form of money, but not a specific currency.

That said, I also think that "BTC" and the "B-with-legs"-symbol are already too widespread to be abolished as currency descriptors of Bitcoin.

ya.ya.yo!

Agree, too much possible interpretation. 10B would be better than 10~ : P

Bitcoin needs a brand, an unique simbolism, that symbol is really ambiguous and it can lead to confuse people and to make people doesn't know what you are talking about
I think this: BTC will be the definite symbol
