This. Someone should stencil this and submit it as the counter proposal to the Unicode Consortium.

I'm glad someone else can find humor in this ridiculousness. I couldn't give a flying fuck what a bunch of anonymous cumsocks agree to on a poll. There is no bitcoin nation, no bitcoin standards organization, and stealing a symbol of a random country.
Without a standards organization in place to represent bitcoin, you will not get anything added as a currency symbol, and as for just adding a symbol, pay the fee and wait a year.
Stop destroying the 'integrity' (tongue in cheek) of bitcoin by using the baht symbol you tards. Rules don't change for everything just because 'bitcoin'.

In System Preferences > Language & Text > Text, there should be a list of "substitutions". OSX will automatically substitute a few characters by a new character, if it's in the list.
You can add a new one there, for example "$B" into "฿". OSX will then change "$B" into "฿" if it encounters it.

doesn't work in Chrome or Safari for me.

Steve (a few posts up) mentioned how you can use mac's autoreplace to do something like that.
i got stuck at the part where he says "substitution".

If you want to type the Bitcoin currency character easily, you can add it to your keyboard layout. I'd share my new layout, but I personally use the Colemak layout and no one is using that anyway, I guess.
You can download the Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator (also works on windows 7) to edit it yourself.
If people let me know what keyboard layout they use, and what location for the is ฿the most convenient, I might fix up some installers tomorrow.

i use a MacBook Pro. it would be cool to use the $ sign for ฿ in Chrome

On Mac OSX, I made it such that when I type the sequence "$" "B" that it creates the ฿ currency symbol. You can do that in System Preferences > Language & Text > Text. Once you've created the substitution, you may need to enable it in apps that don't have it turned on by default (i.e. Safari…you can often find the option to enable it under Edit > Substitutions > Text Replacement).
Great idea. Too bad chrome doesn't seem to support this. I looked at TextExpander, but its $35
It also doesn't seem to do anything until you hit space. Which means you have to type "$B[space][delete]123" for ฿123

I think the official Bitcoin symbol should be the Baht but with two lines, and I will keep using the Baht symbol until Unicode gives us a Bitcoin symbol.
If Steve Jobs can add "steaming pile of poo" to Unicode (http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/1f4a9/index.htm) then I am sure we will eventually get our own Unicode symbol when the world realizes we are here to stay and are not just tulip mania.

This doesn't show properly for me… (It shows as Ƀ square)
Same for me.
Here comes the btc-baht hate train lol.

Why is it that i have the feeling that most of the persons who voted to use the Thai Baht symbol for Bitcoin are the same that gave Bruce a hard time because of the conference in Pataya?

Windows 7, chrome, also standard font set I believe.
In firefox I see "฿O" (roughly), not combined.
Well maybe that isn't the best idea if firefox isn't displaying it right. IE does for me, though. And I believe that's what it should do, as the unicode specification indicates that it is a non-spacing character. In firefox I see "฿O" (roughly), not combined.
