    Why on earth an emoji anyway? $, €, £ and ¥ aren’t emoji either.

    And now that I look, Unicode already has ₿ (U+20BF BITCOIN SIGN). Just use that. Or better yet, don’t.

    Emojis should be purely generic, and not represent an individual product or service.

    No apple logo. No BMW logo. Generic.

    Imagine if every brand had a fucking emoji, what a wasteland that would be. And then in years to come the unicode character space is littered with dead brands that have gone the way of the dinosaur but still living on in emoji form like digital trash, because emoji are permanent. There’s no taking it out once it’s made.

    So I’d support an emoji to represent the notion of ‘digital currency’ but it should be generic, not Bitcoin.

    Easier to distinguish between people who want to establish a patriarchal white ethno-state, and people who just like ancient Greek sculpture

    Nice.
