35 crypto companies made a Change Dot Org petition called “Bitcoin Deserves an Emoji”
F that

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.

lul
it renders as the co logo on fruitcompany hardware
although now I wanna go check the codepoint to see why it rendered as that on your side
On Apple devices some installed fonts contain the Apple logo at this position. However, it is not recommended to use it in this way, since people with other operating systems will most probably not see this character.
The ConScript Unicode Registry suggests to use this codepoint for the Klingon Mummification Glyph. This encoding has been endorsed by the Klingon Language Institute.
lol
Jup I can’t btw fuck Apple.
We already have a bunch of currency specific emojis, so it’s already too late for this notion 💱💲💰🪙💷💶💴💵💸
A lot of things exist in emoji because of early adopter advantage. A lot of the money stuff is either dollar or yen for this reason because they were first to the table. It’s the same reason there are also so many other non-money emoji that represent quite uniquely Japanese cultural concepts in there.
There’s a heck of a lot of world currency missing from emoji, but I would never suggest adding them all in. Everyone across the world is quite happy to use emoji with $ on as a synonym for ‘money’ regardless of what currency they actually use, so that already gets the job done as “generic money symbol”
It works because $ is so culturally ubiquitous.
When it comes to designing a new emoji that represents ‘digital currency’ we could take a similar approach as with fiat currency and just pick the most well known one (BTC) and roll with it.
But my preference would be to do otherwise, and design a non-specific emoji which represents the concept but without just being an existing logo.

Me neither, I actually think there are way too many emoji already
There is a bitcoin unicode symbol though. ₿
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.
o really? 💵💶💴💷
but seeing these are physical representation of those currencies… bitcoin’s emoji can be a usb stick (at least having an actual USB stick emoji can be useful in some cases like when making guides)
We already have 🅱️
we also have 💩
ay 🅱️🅱️, wan sum fuk?
how did this of all the posts break containment
crossposting, I think, but I was also 🤨 for a moment there…
wait no it’s not literally crossposted
yeah I got nothing.
I’m sorry 😂
We assumed too much good faith. Time to lock it down
Bitcoin has an emoji but moths don’t… Wtf
It doesnt have an emoji yet
edit: how dare you downvote my surely good points that bitcoins are worthy of not just an emoji but a nobel prize!!!
adding this to your post will get you laughed at and then banned
On the one hand, Bitcoin as an emoji would be basically useless.
On the other hand, it could work as an easy shorthand for “scam”
Bitcoin is stupid and therefore deserves an emoji. It is not worthy of ascii-art. (_!_)
Edit , this shitty webpage doesn’t support ascii-art. Re-edit, needed to add escape characters, true art is always born out of struggle.
Is…that supposed to be a butthole or a theigh gap
a butt, per the logo of this sub
Yea but the exclamation has a dot for an asshole or something. That’s what I’m asking about

Easier to distinguish between people who want to establish a patriarchal white ethno-state, and people who just like ancient Greek sculpture
Nice.
What the fuck happened here?
i dont know i just posted a silly thing and all hell broke loose 😭
The fediverse has randomly placed wormholes
don’t worry you can’t break the fediverse it comes pre-broken for your inconvenience
👤💰 ?
Maybe a hot take, but I think emojis are stupid, so maybe bitcoin deserves one after all?
emojis are stupid
Really curious on what grounds, like is the entire idea of a pictogram stupid?
I’m 48 years old, so I didn’t grow up with them. I do think some of them have their place though, but there’s quite a lot of novelty emojis. So I guess that I’m an old guy who only likes the old ascii emoticons.

IMO the best use of emojis was when Chinese citizens used them to share info about covid while the govt was actively censoring it (that article calls them emoticons for some reason though)
PUNCH THE FART
