I like that too. In this forum: - Add one smile with that symbol - Maybe, can switch ฿ to that smile automatically when people writes....

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

The Baht symbol alone Could Cause some Confusion yes, but combine it with the symbol for the Costa Rican Colón and you get;
฿₡
so you could say, please send me ฿₡50.00.
yay! hello from Costa Rica i like the idea of use the symbol ฿, well, is used in the THAI currency... anyway, is harder to put in if you are in a laptop...

Anger the Thai Government, and they'll sick Tony Jaa on you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiANsBkgqjU"WHERE'S MY COUNTERFEIT?... WHERE'S MY COUNTERFEIT?..." Seriously though, using an existing currency's symbol will just give people another excuse to say that bitcoin is a scam, or to question its legitimacy. Yeah, sure they're ignorant of the way bitcoin works, but why should we give them another reason to talk trash on bitcoin?

My Idea and explanation: Done roughly in MS paint: https://i.imgur.com/vVRc3.jpgAnyways, I think whatever the symbol is it should be both easy to identify and easy to write on paper, and not overly complex. My symbol is basically a modified lower-case 'b' with an extension of the vertical line, a slightly more ovular semi-circle than normal which slightly protrudes out of the vertical line (giving it the subtle impression of a reversed 'c'). What do you guys think?

I still think ß is a good choice for the currency symbol.

I still think ß is a good choice for the currency symbol. I love it: - Looks like a B.
- Relatively easy to type, even on non-german keyboards (for example "compose s s", and on windows it's surely easy as well).
- Present on most fonts.
- Non-ambiguous: ß4.26 or 4.26ß, or even 4ß26 can't mean anything else than 4.26 bitcoins, even in a German context.
- Non-ambiguous (bis): doesn't conflict with another currency.
- It looks nice, and it offers neat possibilities of playing with its design.
Unless/until someone comes up with a new, better idea, I'll use ß from now on.

I like the ⓑ symbol most,
It is well recognizable, not that hard to type (Alt-24d1 or Ctrl-Shift-u 24d1 ), it looks a bit like a coin and moreover it is quite similar to the @, which did become a symbol of the electronic age.
The Baht symbol is also beautiful and the Baht-Cordoba combination is well-looking and meaningful as well. However I think that Baht alone would cause a little confusion at least in Thailand ;-)

Hello all, I decided I'd make an account JUST to show my support for Ⓑ (well, and probably to rant and ramble on other issues as well ). Sure, $ is used in multiple places so why not the Thai ฿? I personally feel like bitcoin is such a radical step (at least for most people, who don't tend to think about the value of currency) that piggybacking on a current currency symbol just because it has the letter B in it is poor form. The Ⓑ (U+24B7) works just as well, or even better. It's shaped like a coin, it has a B, there is no potential for confusion. I honestly can't think of an argument for ฿ and against Ⓑ. ^^^ asdfqwejpwek has a point... I like Ⓑ.

I still vote ß, it's the easiest to type, it's in all the fonts, etc, etc.

The problem with ß is that is that it is actively used by a country/language.
Same with ฿.
To my knowledge, Ⓑ doesn't have that problem; and it is a "B" in a circle - like a "coin".

Yes, ß is used in a language, however, the way it is used does not provide for any ambiguity to exist. ß45.20 would have only one possible interpretation. Same with 45.20ß if anyone was noting it that way.
