Here is a list of the currency's codes by ISO 4217

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_4217

But in the crypto world - I think -  they use their own codes.

You can vote your ico to be listed , after that you have to pay for it ..

That usually doesn't work that well. First of all, the coins that have votes are paid so that is not worth it.

Just sending a ticket to the online exchange is the most wisest thing to do.

Two questions, actually. Both about Ethereum blockchain based ICOs.
1. When ICO goes public, I can see it on exchanges: how does it go there? I see two possibilities: either ICO folks actively promote their token, or some engine scans block chain for everything ERC20 compatible. Which one is correct?

2. Tokens have short names. Like "Atlant" - "ATL" and so on. Is it done through a built-in Geth registrar or somehow else?

Thank you.

Most of the exchangers take some money to list any coins or tokens in an exchanger platforms. After your project is being submitting to the exchange of your choice you must work with you teams in other to vote if the coins or tokens will be listed as after the vote reach some certain level one is expected to see his coin listed after paying some little fees.

1. Few ICO were actually ran over running exchange platforms like yobit, livecoin because they allow project to run crowdfunding directly over their platform. Other ETH based tokens get listed after ICO but before getting listed they have to go through paper work or have to pay fees. Etherdelta seems to list every alts just after ICO for free.

2. No there is no any central authority that provides ticker to tokens, project itself have to come up with their own unique ticker but sometimes two coins might have same ticker or have different ticker in two different exchanges, like bitcoin cash have both BCH and BCC as ticker because BCC was already used by bitconnect.

I will answer to your first question. So whenever an ICO is completed and tokens distributed, the team and community both actively promote the coin to get listed at a particular exchange. This can be done in terms of filling forms that are available at exchanges, pushing the coin at twitter or even paying some money to exchanges to get their coin listed. Bittrex also takes some money before listing any coin in their exchange.
I know only this way too.
About names - team chooses one they want.

ICO is an event. Events are never get listed, the tokens or coins are. Registration is either done by the community or the team behind the project, either of these groups will initiate to reach/contact the exchanges for instructions. Or rarely, the other way around.

Thanks, but I mean not "where the name comes from", but how is it registered officially? I know about Registrar built in Geth, are there other ways, or is it enough? The above mentioned "ATL", for example - how have they registered it?

They have to apply for that. Example before going public, the team behind, specially marketing person part of the team needs to contact exchanges and shows intention about their coins. One approved, mostly after the ICO has ended, the tokens are already listed on a exchanges. So once the distribution is given, you will see that that token is very much pump in a particular exchange.

2. Tokens have short names. Like "Atlant" - "ATL" and so on. Is it done through a built-in Geth registrar or somehow else?
