Topic: Bitcoin symbol accepted for Unicode - page 2. (Read 3119 times)
You guys are thinking way ahead, and that's awesome! Would definitely love to see BTC on my keyboard...
I can't wait for the day that the BTC symbol replaces the dollar symbol on my keyboard. Everyone will be using bitcoin by then. This is the start of the whirlwind to main street, when it gets integrated into the established systems like unicode.
LOL
How will we code if we have no $ sign on our keyboards?
Gave me a funny idea... Forking JavaScript and beginning to use BTC instead of $
Great news. Happy to hear this. I hope we will see bitcoin unicode symbol in key map soon. I can't find bitcoin symbol shortcut in my keyboard 
. Price is increasing!!!

Oh how awesome! Now I'll be able to use it with my all shitty fonts 
Looks like we have been accepted for the next revision of Unicode! Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be news or a thread about this... Only a twitter announcement, but I bet this will be discussed a lot in the next few hours
What do you all think? I think this is great news!

That is pretty big news indeed, now we need Bitcoin on keyboards as well.
Did someone call Logitech yet?
A true international keyboard layout should have a Bitcoin shortcut on it.
Awesome news, I guess this was the result of the price increasing.
BTW shouldn't this be considered a spot here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=87.0 ?

It doesn't go that fast to get accepted in there.
I remember some people discussing a while ago that they had submitted a request to get it added, timing is just perfect though!
This is pretty huge. Anyone knows what key combinations you have to press to make the symbol appear? I wish they would release a keyboard with a more accessible key combination (for example a simple shift + a number one like we use for $), and the key would show the BTC symbol. We need to make it a standard in every keyboard on the planet.
Oh god yes, I can see it next to my ctrl-alt e for €.
I want a ctrl-alt b for bitcoin. <3

Yep, that would be great! And then maybe tens of millions of people who still don't aware of Bitcoin's existence will become curious of what it is.
The price is rising already, but we need more reasons for its rising and stabilising.

This is definately a step in the right direction and a big goal reached for the bitcoin community.
Makes me proud to have been sort of early in this game.
Way to go.

Finally! Another acknowledgment from the general public! This is actually a big news because people have been pushing this to be implemented and it seems that we finally have our hands on it.
You can request keyboard manufacturers for it since it is already a unicode, though I'm not sure whether they'll be interested or not.
...i hope in the future, this symbol will be added to keyboard also, maybe remove the fiat symbol altogether

Another milestone in 2015 for bitcoin. You know this baby just might be creeping towards what we are all hoping for
thats what this all are the reason for the current price increase of bitcoin, because now everyone is accepting the potential of bitcoin and everyone wants to hold it before it goes higher odd, bad luck i sold my 0.1 btc @ 334 usd, no problem, i still carry some more will sell on 400 usd.
Very cool news, thanks for sharing
You'd still need the $ for programming and other purposes but I agree that keyboard manufacturers should include BTC on their next designs

Preferably get rid of the "Windows" key also, just needs changing to a symbol meaning "menu" seeing as that's what it does on Windows anyway (as well as most other OS'es)
Here is is ₿ !

Perhaps theymos as the admin of the forum could apply a font to this as he does to [btc ] BTC
