Revision as of 17:35, 17 December 2010

There is no official bitcoin symbol as of December 2010, however the BTC abbreviation is the most universally accepted form.

Unicode symbol

There is a discussion over which unicode symbol might be the best suited for bitcoin.

It has lead to the following options:

  • ฿
    • Pro: Gives a currency-like look (it the symbol for an existing currency, the Thai Baht, but other currency symbols often get reused, like the $), Displayed correctly on all known OSes
    • Cons: It is already a currency, and might confuse people
    • Cons: Do not even think about it
  • Ⓑ ⓑ
    • Cons: Do not display properly for everyone
  • β
  • ¤
  • Ƅ
  • ϭ
