Unicode

The minuscule form has been present in Unicode since version 1, but the majuscule form was not added until version 5.

Before the introduction of the Unicode symbol, ⟨₿⟩, for the popular cryptocurrency Bitcoin, the symbol for the Thai baht, ⟨฿⟩, had sometimes been used. However, this caused possible confusion with the baht while ⟨Ƀ⟩ had no other uses related to currency. Therefore, ⟨Ƀ⟩ had been proposed as a substitute.
