It's a cool symbol, but the one nostr:nprofile1qqsza748zkamgmw4he4hm2xhwqpxd5gkwju38wqh3twmtshx8kv8xvgppamhxue69uhkgctdw4eju6t09uq3vamnwvaz7tm9v3jkutnwdaehgu3wd3skuep0qyv8wumn8ghj7enfd36x2u3wdehhxarj9emkjmn99uphz3ay is using is easier to write. I like that one more.

It also has the advantage of being in the available unicode set on most machines (because it's a symbol for the Thai Baht, which curiously is divided into 100 "satang"...)

The original ₿ started off as an appropriation of the ฿ until a proposal was accepted to add ₿ to unicode: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thai_baht#Bitcoin

So we'd just be repeating this process for the lowercase for sats :)

Wait I got my facts a bit wrong. the ƀ is not associated with the baht. but the overall point remains:

We use ƀ until Unicode adds a "b" with vertical bar, like it did for ₿

🤔 maybe Satoshi was/is Thai... No one ever suspects the Thai... Historically friendly with Japan, too. Hmm. Hmmmmmm 🤔
