Is that a B shape with two slashes intersecting the top arc only? It looks well.
Precisely. It's to emphasis the hash-backed nature of the currency.
It don't have the tools to 'normalize' this, but an italic #3 where the top two horizontals of the 3 intersect with the horizontals of the #.
What's the point, if you can't type it?! A bit premature really I think. Wait till bitcoin becomes mainstream, till then BTC is fine.
I agree completely as for a currency glyph. But a logo is important, considering any currency is perception, perception, perception.
