Plain text for the Bitcoin symbol It seems that the most widely used symbol for Bitcoin is a B with two vertical lines through it1. It makes sense, as a single letter with a line or two through it is common for many currencies. Is there a plain text printing for this symbol, or perhaps a font that can insert it into documents and the like? What about a hex code or something for HTML printing? I'm looking for other ways to denote the currency without using an image.




With the symbols found here, it looks like a circle around it might become part of the official symbol as well. Maybe I should ask that separately.
Like Murch said, there isn't a current text based symbol for it, but if you're going to use it on a web application, you can always use Font Awesome.

After you include the fontawesome library, you use the bitcoin symbol like this:

&lt;i class="fa fa-btc"&gt;&lt;/i&gt; fa-btc


Example output of the code above would be:
