Just make it the B symbol they use in the coin? None of the others would exist in their current fashion, without Bitcoin anyway.

Bitcoin is a brand name there which means they can't do that. Also if bitcoin deserves its own symbol (and I don't think it necessarily does) then all the cryptocurrencies such as ethereum also deserve one.

Windows wouldn't have existed without DOS so it's logo should be the DOS logo. Likewise the USD emoji should be a pile of gold. \s
