ϭ has relation to bitcoin
ϭ actually does have a visible relation to bitcoin, seeing as it is the lower-case russian B. :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nanotube (talk • contribs) at 06:15, 2 January 2011
Pros and cons as different collums?
I think it would be better if the pros and cons were in sepparate colums to make it easier to evaluate the proposals; what do you say? --TiagoTiago 15:23, 26 April 2011 (GMT)
Removal of section called Existing Unicode symbol

Unit and subunit symbols
The proposal is to use existing unicode symbols. My preference is to use the unicode \u243 html Ƀ for bitcoin and the unicode \u289 html ʉ for microcoin where 1 bitcoin = 1,000,000.00 microcoins You can view the Units discussion What do you think?
Bitcoin's ISO 4217 numeric code?
