Twitter Added New Emoji For Bitcoin, Next Step For Unicode
Twitter CEO and big Bitcoin supporter Jack Dorsey posted a message on his account introducing a new emoji for the first cryptocurrency. Dorsey also posted the bitcoin symbol in his Twitter profile description..From now on, the bitcoin symbol will appear on Twitter whenever the user uses the hash tag and adds the word "bitcoin" or "BTC" after it.
In the post, Dorsey also mentions the Unicode character encoding standard, thus urging its creators to follow Twitter's lead and introduce a special character for bitcoin..
The new feature has generated significant interest from community members. For example, the CEO of the TRON blockchain project Justin Sun, the CEO of the Binance exchange Changpeng Zhao, and the co-founder of Lightning Labs Elizabeth Stark, who also asked if anyone sent a proposal to add a character to Unicode.
Whether the addition of the emoji for bitcoin was Twitter's own initiative, or whether it was ordered by someone else, Dorsey did not elaborate. In the past, he has repeatedly expressed his positive attitude towards cryptocurrency, including calling it his own currency of the Internet, and formed a development team based on his payment company Square, whose task is to develop an open Bitcoin protocol.
