When is the Bitcoin symbol going to be added to the keyboard?

[dunfida]

Adding the Bitcoin symbol to the keyboard will scream "ADOPTION". The question is where to put the key? I would suggest they replace the $ with the bitcoin symbol... just kidding. However, it gotta go somewhere, what do you think?

Depends and would vary if manufacturers would consider on putting it out not only with KB but also in the command itself on which it could print out that Bitcoin Logo.
We arent still into that certain state of adoption for such add up but who knows if we would able to see this stuff anytime soon.

For now lets not put up some hopes into it but it would be good if ever it would be applied.

Anyone could design it immediately, if they want to make keyboards with this symbol at least for desktop PCs, the important thing is that even if such a symbol does not appear on the hardware, people should have your initiative and start to think and demand I want a keyboard with the symbol BTC 

Although for now: ₿ (Unicode: U + 20BF)

As the Bitcoin value/price increased so huge, so it must be added on the keyboard. The Bitcoin symbol may be added as a emoji first. Then it will be added just like $. Then, It will be very Handy to type the symbol instead of writing "Bitcoin".

Like what @jackg mentioned, the symbol of BTC will most likely be adopted as an "emoji" in the keyboard depending on the operating system. I also doubt that by putting and implementing it on the keyboard that it will scream 'adoption' as you speak.

Though adding such into a keyboard will imply that technologies and businesses have adopted BTC into their system, this attempt will be futile especially that such businesses will put them at jeopardy if the country that they plan on adopting it fails to recognize cryptocurrencies as a whole. Such experience will only defeat its purpose, thereby losing resources to them.

I don't see it coming anytime soon. Even the euro(€) and the peso(₱) doesn't exist on your keyboard after decades and decades of existing and with high levels of adoption. Why do you think they would immediately add a bitcoin symbol as a standard on keyboards?

But yea, like jackg said, it's likely to indirectly get into keyboards through emojis.

Indeed, for the bitcoin symbol to be somehow put in the keyboard and shortcuts will take some plenty of decades, just like the mass adoption and legalization of bitcoin will take much time but we know it's on the process. But for now, the keyboard shorts and standard will stay as it is, and there will be no priority for bitcoin symbol to be added in it because as mk4 said even the top currencies in the world aren't in the keyboard until now.

I think the dollar symbol is impossible to replace. as more and more people use bitcoin and it becomes a trend. I'm sure it will be added in the future. But without waiting for the future, now you can easily create your own like adding emoji

[realcrypto]

It is a good suggestion. No one ever imagine that PayPal will incorporate bitcoin and Tesla can think of accepting bitcoin. One day a cryptocurrency die hard lover that has a keyboard manufacturing industry may decide to add the bitcoin symbol to keyboard.

This is very far to happen , i think the best to look at is Bitcoin for Emoji instead , manufacturer will find this difficult to add as they need to remove some to be replaced and this is not what we can expect in the sooner time.
anyway Nice proposition i am one of those who wanted this to happen as i don't need to click the emojis above the forum and just directly type in my keyboard .

[BitTalk21]

Bitcoin symbol can get added to keyboard, someone have to start it first if anyone come up with proposal to add BTC symbol on keyboard
first step is to bitcoin should be regulated in their country then there business can thought about adding it on keyboard.

In this competitive world its not impossible its like a wave somewhere just have to start it.

I know you are kidding because we have already an Emoji available here in forum so there is no need for adding Bitcoin symbol in keyboard and besides i love pronouncing the whole Word BITCOIN outside this forum than the Logo/symbol so i don't really care about that adding or now.
let the system put symbol of bitcoin in time , but this will surely happen in the future when total adoption comes our ways.

[PeRo]

I don't think it will actually be added to keyboards anytime soon, maybe in distant future it will be that mainstream. Some sites or applications add a custom emoji or symbol like the one we have here, on the forum, but that are mostly sites which have connection directly to Bitcoin, not with general chats, writing apps social media etc. Maybe some phone company will support Bitcoin in some time and add an emoji or symbol.

Insert Bitcoin Sign Shortcuts

Windows Shortcut - Alt + 8383
Word Shortcut - 20BF + Alt + X
Mac Shortcut - Option + 20BF

Link - Webnots

I had no idea that there was an actual built-in symbol for Bitcoin, that's really nice. These shortcuts will come in handy.

Samsung one of the most popular Mobile brand recently came up with its inbuilt wallet. Maybe the Mobile brands can add an emoji or symbol as said in the above quote. These days it is an easy thing to add emoji/symbol. We've got more different formats of keyboard for mobile phones. At present going through the playstore found keyboard with bitcoin background. Possibly soon we can expect keyboard with bitcoin emoji/symbol on playstore.

The € symbol does exist in keyboards. I've just typed it using Alt Gr+E. I'm pretty sure it's been in keyboards sold in Europe for at least a decade. Probably since 1999 or not much later than that, when the Euro was launched.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the Bitcoin symbol on keyboards. We just need open-minded people to include it, and precisely in the world of those who sell hardware it wouldn't be surprising. They are more likely to understand what Bitcoin is than in other sectors.

Depends, probably there are already people out there that created a customized keyboard that has bitcoin symbol on it (other than or with the dollar symbol).  Though being it to became included to the  "standard" keyboard format, I think it is possible after few years. They say usd is crashing while btc is being adopted, maybe that's the time.

I think other people are right with what they have said, there is more possibility of it being added through emojis, but we don’t know whether they would be officially added to the keyboard button where you can find the dollar, euro and other currency symbols. I even used to think that the bitcoin symbol has been added, but that maybe it wasn’t just available in my country yet. Because, I once saw a news that said that Google keyboard now has the Bitcoin symbol on its list of currency symbols.

So, I thought that it has been available for years, until now that I’m seeing this topic or thread. Anyways we’re just going to wait and see whatever they would want to do about it, if they decide that they’re going to add it,  then it’s up to them. For me it’s not really necessary, whether they add it or not there is still going to be an adoption for Bitcoin.

[Reatim]

I don't see reason why this need to be added ,

First we have already our Symbols here in forum .

Second Computer Keyboards symbols are mainly uses for Its purpose and there is no need to change just because of Bitcoin .

because if they need to put Bitcoin symbol then the next is Ethereum, Binance , then USDT so what will happen to the Keyboards?

can you imagine a Keyboard with thousands of symbols from crypto?

[cheezcarls]

In my own opinion, instead of an additional BTC button they should add a certain keyboard shortcut about it. I would love to see that one day as BTC adoption continues no matter where the crypto market goes.

But for mobile phones and tablets, they should try adding the Bitcoin symbol in the numbers section. Just my opinion.

Bitcoin will never replace fiat, so there is no need to add Bitcoin symbols on keyboards. After all, as you said if a Bitcoin symbol is added to keyboards,
later there will be requests for other coins symbols to be added as well. There is no urgent need to add Bitcoin symbols on keyboards, after all,
 the majority of countries still reject Bitcoin as a means of payment. The conclusion is that only the USD symbol deserves to be on the keyboard,
because for now it is USD that is trusted by many countries to conduct international transactions. While Bitcoin in most countries only allows it as
a digital asset, so there really isn't a compelling reason to add a Bitcoin symbol to the keyboard.

Ofcourse, US dollar is irreplaceable or impossible because it's been there since the start of internet and I think that the US dollar is been the mightiest currency of all. Anyways, it's irrelevant anymore because we can always use the bitcoin sign as an emoji.
But it's totally possible in the future to see the bitcoin sign in the keyboard when there's a mass adoption to bitcoin and many countries will be a legal tender as well. But maybe it will took a decade before it will happen because as of now, many people are still lacks the knowledge about the cryptocurrencies especially bitcoin.

a symbol that must really go through many stages if you want to place it in a strategic place such as a laptop keyboard, cellphone, or PC. for now the bitcoin symbol doesn't seem to be able to be put there because there are so many approvals from various parties, and also bitcoin must really be adopted en masse throughout the world first.
