FTC currency sign - Voting Requested

groll

at first I liked “â‚£”. But it’s in the Franco logo so I would avoid that. I would avoid any currency sign for a currency in usage (like the à¸¿ of Bitcoin that is the thai Baht currency sign of thailand)

their is a lot of stylish F a like in the unicode that should be good to go

http://unicode-search.net/unicode-namesearch.pl?term=F

my favorite was U+1D571 but it can’t print in forum correctly without lots of work so a no go

we also have the feather one

U+169B áš› e1 9a 9b OGHAM FEATHER MARK
U+169C ášœ e1 9a 9c OGHAM REVERSED FEATHER MARK
U+2F7B â½» e2 bd bb KANGXI RADICAL FEATHER

From the list that groll posted that would actually show up correctly on my computer, I like the Fraktur symbol U+1D509

A non-letter symbol as he suggested would also be unique and interesting.

yep but put it in your message and the message end :( so need unicode wrapping to use it not very convenient

And it does link with our coin being scrypt 8)

Code is: U+2131

In comparison to Bitcoin and Litecoin: â„± à¸¿ Å

Seems alright to me ::)

Ò’ imo doesn’t reflect because of his hard straight lines a cosy feather.

How abbout an italic f with a c (for coin) on the lower end?

Ï•

Phi (“f”). The lower-case letter Ï† (or often its variant, Ï•) is often used to represent: The golden ratio in mathematics, art, and architecture.

So you have both “f” and math represented.

So besides some wonderful custom made fonts so far we got proposals for various Unicode characters
A copy and paste Unicode character readable in most browsers across the world has my preference
I came across suggestions for
[size=24pt]Æ’ Ò’ â„± Æ’ â‚£ á¸ž[/size] and [size=24pt]Ï•[/size]

I suppose the feather symbolizes the coin’s characteristics of being smooth.
In this context I believe
[size=24pt]Æ’[/size]and [size=24pt]â„±[/size]
are best choices.
To my feeling the first further symbolizes FTC being easy, light and fast.
Since were talking about a new crypto currency it’s a matter of taste to go for retro or art nouveau, so arguably a better choice is
[size=24pt]Æ’[/size] or [size=24pt]Ò’[/size]

I have to admit that Ò’ is very easy to write and remember although my symbol is very nice for printing on coin like smoothie is making for LTC.

To symbolize the fact that feathercoin transactions are very fast perhaps the proposed Ò’ could be written in italic:
[i][size=24pt]Ò’[/size][/i]

I like Ï†

And thing is, if Feathercoin does come to have an underground market named Olympus, it would make sense to have a Greek letter as the currency abbreviation :P

Time to get an official poll going.
