I read an article by a graphic designer who wanted to use the Thai Baht symbol for Bitcoin because it was supposedly easier to write, and because it was already in Unicode.
Then there's this:
http://bitcoinsymbol.org/Maybe you could include examples of people using ฿ or Ƀ, showing that there is already a need for the symbol and that people must resort to using improper Unicode symbols as substitutes.
This Wikipedia article states that people are already using Ƀ in text because there is no Bitcoin symbol in Unicode:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C9%83An entire article about the Bitcoin symbol and Unicode:
http://www.coindesk.com/industry-website-advocate-bitcoins-unicode-symbol/This article discusses optional uses of Unicode to compensate for the fact that Unicode doesn't have a Bitcoin symbol:
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bitcoin_symbolThe fact that people have already created several substitutes shows that not only are they attempting to use the symbol in text, but also that there is a widespread need for the symbol.
A discussion from reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/22loxd/%C6%80_not_the_new_bitcoin_symbol/A request for a Bitcoin symbol to be used as text, and someone offers a custom font:
http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/21382/plain-text-for-the-bitcoin-symbolAnd this article says that Unicode has been rejecting the Bitcoin symbol since 2011.
https://medium.com/down-the-hashrabbit-hole/to-or-not-to-4e952961f41They're making a distinction between people using the symbol and people
trying to use the symbol, which isn't right.
Any use of a text symbol to represent Bitcoin should count as a use of the symbol in running text. Obviously people can't use the Unicode symbol in running text, because there is no Unicode symbol yet.
But this forum does have a Bitcoin symbol which is used in running text, exactly like $ or £ is used.
Check these out, there are probably thousands of examples just within this one website:

We are holding a contest to design signature and avatar for our upcoming sportsbook website called betandwin.cc The design for the website is still being decided so if we see a particularly attractive work we might even model our design based on it.
Signature:
We will need Full, Sr. and Hero Member signatures.
- The logo of the website will contain a football (soccer ball). You may decide to incorporate that in the signature.
- Colour theme we have in mind: Black, White, Red & Blue.
- Signature should revolve around a sports theme , so it should be hip and attractive, while also giving out a professional vibe.
- There should a be a link to the Bitcointalk thread.
- Decide your own text, make it creative! We encourage out of the box ideas. For instance if you think Bet & Win would look better, go for it.
1st Prize: 0.3BTC
2nd Prize: 0.15BTC
You can have multiple entries to improve your chance of winning, and you can even win both the prizes. If you come up first with a unique text which we like, then we will ask the winning entry to use it after awarding you a small portion of the winning prize.
Avatar:
We have allotted 0.05BTC to design avatar. It will be divided among all the entries which we would like to use.
