The bitcoin WITCH symbol:

Have we decided if the symbol goes before the number or after?

(I'll just use B as the symbol) Do we write B7.12 or 7.12B? Or do we write B7,12 ?


Most currency's say $ amount.. or (Euro symbol) amount.. but it would be pronounced dollars 15 which no one says here...In the US as I know of. But Bitcoin..being the new amazing currency it is should be pronounced 7.12B and if you are out of the US please tell me why a comma is used instead of a decimal?   Huh

what ever happened to registering with the (I assume I will get this wrong) International Symbols Org?

hahaha, I just seen the results, why is this a poll again?

Majority has ruled on this one long ago, and has ruled again.

I expect the topic to come back up in a month.

We see: ฿ is the favorite but it is already in ust by thailand
does someone know, if its "allowed" to use?

If not, there will be Ƀ the next favorite

And the $ is used only in the USA...
I am use to the $ here in America, but I think the B with the line through it doesn't look to good I go with Ƀ
1.5Ƀ   looks pretty cool

Can you add an option for "none of the above"?

Here is what I think it should look like:

I find the list unnecessarily limited to capitals.
Capital 'B' stands for Byte, not bit, so for the bitcoin I propose the ␢ (I just hope it won't show as a square) Smiley
(description: minor 'b'with a horizontal line through the stem.
Edit: well, not quite totally horizontal...

None of the above. (Or possibly the last option, which for me just shows as a square).

My favourite can be seen here: http://ilovebitcoin.com



Indeed the one that shows up as 'just a square' for you is the one featured on the link you shared. Ƀ  

Cool thanks, in that case I'll put in my vote for the square Smiley

 also like it, and would use it on my bitcoin web store if it rendered properly in all browsers.  As you demonstrated, it often does not.  Therefore for now I use BTC and ฿

Why can't it be a letter combination
We already have a de-facto standard Bitcoin currency code: BTC
This discussion is about a single-digit symbol, which is kind of complementary for most (all?) currencies.

Why does it have to be a symbol, like $?

Why can't it be a letter combination (so you can type/print it on any computer, cell phone, typewriter), for example, Bc or Bt?

I vote: forget about the glyph for now.

Use a sexy .png something like the image above, or the letters BTC.

Go for a proper unicode character once the bitcoin economy has some serious scale to it.

+1

The #-B is a great idea - I've tried to scale it down in the other thread. Not sure if it works though.

Getting it into a Unicode revision will take a while, so I suggest we decide on a new symbol and propose it soon.
