And a lower case b with a squiggle up top does? That's a very poor argument to make. No currency symbol looks like anything to anyone until they're told what it is.

The Thai Baht ฿ was originally used as the Bitcoin symbol until ₿ was added to Unicode.
We can repeat a similar process, temporarily appropriating ƀ until Unicode adds a lowercase b with a vertical stroke.
It also has the advantage of being in the available unicode set on most machines (because it's a symbol for the Thai Baht, which curiously is divided into 100 "satang"...)
The original ₿ started off as an appropriation of the ฿ until a proposal was accepted to add ₿ to unicode: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thai_baht#Bitcoin
So we'd just be repeating this process for the lowercase for sats :)

Or we could just use the miscellaneous symbol that a lot of people already use for sats and already exists in Unicode U+2BD2 ⯒
that character didn't render in amethyst. what is it?
