what currency symbol did bitcoin use? the g symbol is currently hard coded to be a symbol for an in use currency I believe, so it could be considered outright fraud. ---

> [@0xb100d](#): > > Bitcoin does not use the currency symbol of the Thai Baht. That would probably be illegal outright. > > ₿ This is amazing! Also news to me. I was under the impression that the Bitcoin community still borrowed ฿, but it turns in 2017 Unicode included ₿ into the standard ([₿ Bitcoin Emoji](https://emojipedia.org/bitcoin-sign/)). This means that there is hope for Grin to have it’s own currency symbol added into the Unicode standard in the future! All the more reason to have a custom designed symbol unique to the purpose for Grin. PS: If you don’t believe that the Baht symbol was ever borrowed, you’d be wrong. Refer to here for a note on that if you don’t believe me: [Bitcoin symbol - Bitcoin Wiki](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bitcoin_symbol) ---
