Yikes, the unicode character just looks like a messed up B. Most other currencies look a lot better in unicode: $, £, €, ¥, etc


Arguably, those are messed up S, messed up L, messed up C, and messed up Y.


Well, all of those besides the £ have a nice symmetry. But it's nothing really annoying, neither for it not for the Ƀ.


Arguably, that's actually a messed up E rather than a C.


I think they all have clearer visual differentiation and generally are more aesthetically pleasing than Ƀ


Not to mention that traditionally Ƀ is pronounced as 'v'.


Traditionally maybe, but only by a small minority (of linguists?)


Yeah, I actually thought there was some dirt on my screen. I tried to clean it and after it didn't go away, I scrolled a bit to see that it belongs to the character itself -.-
