Hello Everyone,

Multiple attempts have been made to create the satoshi symbol, however, some people still consider satoshis too small to be a useful unit. We argue that in order for a currency to have value and to be useful, it needs a visual representation that the community accepts, recognizes and uses.

lowercase \"c\" with a slash

So ultimately the symbol we designed is a combination of the following elements:

Lowercase \"s\", Slash, 8
