It seems a good proposal for the bitcoin growth to scale another milestone....

Well done. It's about time Bitcoin got some font recognition. Also saw someone on Twitter complain how they do not approve of the symbol. They seem to miss that the symbol already is. Adding it to Unicode is just an acceptance that this is an actual symbol being used in the world.

That was relatively fast, in terms of committees.
Get ready to be able to tell people that their computer already has a Bitcoin symbol.

Nearly five years ago I proposed for our community to use COMBINING DOUBLE VERTICAL STROKE OVERLAY (U+20E6). Here it is in FreeMono ( U+0042 and U+20E6). As you can see, this option has some significant problems: - you need some typeface that supports Unicode 6.0;
- anyway, it almost never displayed in a suitable form.
So I will be really happy when this new symbol will appear. Ken Shirriff, thank you!

Cool retweeted. So I will be really happy when this new symbol will appear. Ken Shirriff, thank you! I dont know the bars look like jail bars, I prefer a design where the bars don't go through the 'B' but only shows outside of it. I prefer the ' BTC ' logo as the one to be. Its pretty solid.

Oh, I mean that I will be happy when the glyph that was made by theymos will appear in the next Unicode version as U+20BF. It is becoming a reality thanks to the effort of Ken Shirriff.

Great work, Ken! Having a Bitcoin Unicode will add lot of ease to web developer developing Bitcoin related application.
|
So sad! This profile does not appear as the #1 result (on anonymous) Google searches anymore.
Time to be active on the crypto forums again? Proud to be one of the few Legendary members of the Sparkie Red Dot!
Gonna put this on my resume if I ever join a cryptocurrency/blockchain industry!

Thanks everyone in this thread for your support and helping get BTC into Unicode! Special thanks to runpaint for digging up a bunch of usage examples - that made a big difference.

This is really great news. Thanks to Ken and everyone for making this happen. Unicode now seems to appreciate that Bitcoin is no fly-by-night phenomenon. We've been around for years and we deserve a proper encoding for our symbol Putting this here for the near furture when the forum's font support it: ^^fail I don't seem to be able to copy the non-printing character into this text box

Well I was just going to tell everyone that Bitcoin is being added to Unicode, but now I have to brag about it and take credit too
