Jack Dorsey, co-founder and CEO of Twitter, tweeted the recently added Bitcoin emoji and tagged Unicode, a consortium that manages the dominant character encoding standard on the Internet.

Probably, Dorsey called on a non-profit organization to follow the example of a social network and add a bitcoin sign to the universal character set (UCS). Before the tag, he added “cc” – I am sending a copy.
The tweet gathered a lot of enthusiastic comments, and the head of Lightning Labs, Elizabeth Stark, supported the call of Dorsey. However, in the comments, she noticed that Unicode already provides two ways to encode a bitcoin symbol, for example, U + 20BF.

Emoji of the first cryptocurrency began to appear when the hashtags #Bitcoin and #BTC were typed, the symbol is displayed for a while, and then disappears. The addition of BTC emoji to Twitter provoked a stormy reaction from the bitcoin community.
Tweets with a new symbol marked the head of Binance Changpeng Zhao, founder of Tron Justin Sun and co-founder of Morgan Greek Digital Anthony Pompliano.
The leading cryptocurrency Telegram channel from India under the nickname Shalini noted that companies pay more than a million dollars for emojis under the Twitter brand, and this was free for bitcoin.
While companies have to pay> $ 1 Million for a Twitter Branded Emoji, #BTC was added for FREE
Thank you @Jack for believing in #Bitcoin ?
