Am I the only one who is somehow surprised and annoyed that Bitcoin has its own unicode character?




I mean, yes, but so does the Austral and it lasted less than Bitcoin has already.


Yet Klingon script was rejected. Unicode character acceptance seems to be entirely arbitrary. Gotta make space for all the new poop emoji somehow I suppose.


Bitcoin symbol is used far more than Klingon characters. Simple as that.

And anyone Klingon is declared for use in the private use area, like other niche languages.


hm. yes.

The other day I wanted to share a windows keyboard shortcut and thought it would be nice to use the windows logo to represent the key but was surprised it didn't exist like the Mac CMD one does... :\ At least it's been around longer....
