Use of the bitcoin symbol in text is inconven= ient, because the bitcoin symbol isn't in the Unicode standard. To fix = this, I've written a proposal to have the common B-with-vertical-bars b= itcoin symbol added to Unicode. I've successfully proposed a new charac= ter for Unicode before, so I'm familiar with the process and think this= has a good chance of succeeding. The proposal is at=C2=A0http://righto.com/bitcoi= n-unicode.pdf

I received a su= ggestion to run this proposal by the bitcoin-dev group, so I hope this emai= l is appropriate here. Endorsement by Bitcoin developers will help the Unic= ode Committee realize the importance of adding this symbol, so please let m= e know if you support this proposal.=C2=A0

Thanks,=
Ken
