Hi bitcoin enthousiasts!
I have a proposal for ALL the Bitcoin Community.
Let's do a proposal to insert the bitcoin symbol into ASCII character system, like all other currencies. We can spare our demand into every puplic and social media network available. if this happens, the road to establish bitcoin currency will be widely open.
I want to discuss this and if you agree, we can make our first steps to achive this. Waiting your ideas....

Um, ASCII doesn't have all other currency symbols, or even any currency symbols other than than the dollar sign. ASCII also cannot be changed, but that's okay, because hardly anyone actually uses ASCII for anything anyway.

It isn't and it never was. The following is a complete list of all printable ASCII characters: !"#$%&'()*+,-./ 0123456789:;<=>? @ABCDEFGHIJKLMNO PQRSTUVWXYZ]\[^_ `abcdefghijklmno pqrstuvwxyz{|}~ See? No euro symbol. Or many other symbols for that matter. That's why nobody uses ASCII anymore.

Maybe your talking about one of the extended ASCII sets, like ISO 8859-15 where € is 0xA4 I think the number of people using this kind of tricks is really low. And anyway, except if you want to create your own ASCII-extended charset (good luck to make it used by anybody), you can't modify an existing one to put another symbol: all the 256 characters are used!
Where we can add characters is UTF-8 And adding a Bitcoin character in UTF-8 is discussed for years

To be more specific, i would like to put in my signature (as an example) the bitcoin sign. Is it possible and if it is, how?

What you're looking for is ISO 4217 (unicode, not "ascii") and here is a short list of people before you:
WTF are you talking about? ISO 4217 is about currency codes Unicode and ASCII are charsets

Write That will print BTCOK this is a bbcode used in this forum. I mean that i want to have this sign to my keyboard as euro, dollar or pound sign. I would like to write an article and put the bitcoin sign into it as i do for all other symbols. I don't care if it would be ascii, utf, iso or what I know i ask to much but it can be a start.

As I said it's been years people want UTF-8 to include a Bitcoin symbol, just do a search in the forum
