I kinda like Ƀ
Is this part of standard fonts?
If it is, I like it and let use it!

Coming from someone promoting Bitcoin as a tool for illegal activities (and thus harming Bitcoin), I guess I should take this as a compliment...
You seem a little nutty to me...
legal activities vary greatly from one place to the next and bitcoin is not limited to any single legal jurisdiction.
morality is maybe you what you really mean, and bitcoin is morally neutral.
I like nuts though. I always buy the chunky brand peanut butter and my parrot loves all kinds of nuts.

The Baht is not an appropriate symbol for Bitcoin. Each symbol represents a specific currency, and Bitcoin is not a baht.
¤ = currency (B¤: good bitcoin symbol)
$ = peso
€ = euro
£ = pound sterling
¥ = yuan
دينار = dinar
฿ = baht (bad bitcoin symbol)
¤ = currency (B¤: good bitcoin symbol)
$ = peso
€ = euro
£ = pound sterling
¥ = yuan
دينار = dinar
฿ = baht (bad bitcoin symbol)

This is what I see:
Mine doesn't look that bad, but it's close.

Not a fan of ฿.
More a fan of Ƀ.
More a fan of Ƀ.
Me too. I'd like to see that one used more often.

There hasn't been much disagreement that Ƀ, the "Latin capital letter B with stroke" (Alt+0243) is a pretty decent symbol to use going forward.
I don't like it. It's too plain.
My browser displays Luke's symbol alright, and it looks better than ฿ or Ƀ, but I just tried to paste it into the posting text box and it wasn't handled very well.
Why not just use "BTC" in text and BTC in images? A symbol in text isn't really required.

It's not the first time we are discussing this and although "no authority in bitcoin" Atlas vs. "we always used ❏" Luke might most likely not be resolved ever, I'd love to see some definite preference of the bitcointalk.org users so at least we can silence this repetitive discussion here.

Luke is still pushing his own idea of a symbol on wikipedia. It's getting silly.

Honestly, everyone should just continue using BTC until a Bitcoin symbol is standardized and viewable on 95% of computers without modifying the default fonts or encodings.
Everyone is already using B⃦ via images 
Cute, isn't it? I'm gonna go ahead and name this character "Jalapeno"

Many currencies used already existing symbols. We don't need anybody's permission to adopt the Thai Baht. The Silk Road and other major retailers are using this sign. It can't be escaped.
Regardless, you may be right. I don't think there's much hope in attempting to standardize a particular symbol - the market will use what it will, and even though it might not be the best option, it will eventually become the standard.

Luke-Jr, if you go to Tools/Encoding in your Chrome browser while in Wikipedia, you should have the UTF-8 option checked. Is that so?
I'm not the one having problems...This guy is a nut. Plain and simple. Awhile back he added a Tonal number section to the Bitcoin article.
Oh, I wondered where I knew the name from.
