It'll be great, if everyone uses after this poll the same symbol.
Think of usability!
This is not the Poll about the international code BTC ony about the sign like $ but for bitcoin
If you got another symbol writ and i'll put it in the poll.

And with one poll, one thread from a year ago http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=41.0 , has became two. For your next trick, pull a rabbit out of your ass. This is the only winner  But ฿ is second. Note: The first and last options are no characters at all. Bottom shows up as just a square. Top one starts off with a B but ends with a square character. |

I vote: forget about the glyph for now.
Use a sexy .png something like the image above, or the letters BTC.
Go for a proper unicode character once the bitcoin economy has some serious scale to it.

+1 The #-B is a great idea - I've tried to scale it down in the other thread. Not sure if it works though. Getting it into a Unicode revision will take a while, so I suggest we decide on a new symbol and propose it soon. |

Why does it have to be a symbol, like $?
Why can't it be a letter combination (so you can type/print it on any computer, cell phone, typewriter), for example, Bc or Bt?

We already have a de-facto standard Bitcoin currency code: BTC This discussion is about a single-digit symbol, which is kind of complementary for most (all?) currencies. |

None of the above. (Or possibly the last option, which for me just shows as a square). My favourite can be seen here: http://ilovebitcoin.comIndeed the one that shows up as 'just a square' for you is the one featured on the link you shared. Ƀ also like it, and would use it on my bitcoin web store if it rendered properly in all browsers. As you demonstrated, it often does not. Therefore for now I use BTC and ฿ |

I find the list unnecessarily limited to capitals. Capital 'B' stands for Byte, not bit, so for the bitcoin I propose the ␢ (I just hope it won't show as a square) (description: minor 'b'with a horizontal line through the stem. Edit: well, not quite totally horizontal... |

Can you add an option for "none of the above"? Here is what I think it should look like:  |

hahaha, I just seen the results, why is this a poll again?
Majority has ruled on this one long ago, and has ruled again.
I expect the topic to come back up in a month.

Have we decided if the symbol goes before the number or after?
(I'll just use B as the symbol) Do we write B7.12 or 7.12B? Or do we write B7,12 ?
Most currency's say $ amount.. or (Euro symbol) amount.. but it would be pronounced dollars 15 which no one says here...In the US as I know of. But Bitcoin..being the new amazing currency it is should be pronounced 7.12B and if you are out of the US please tell me why a comma is used instead of a decimal?  |
