Bitcoin symbol in LaTeX
Three examples, from here:
\def\bitcoinA{%
\leavevmode
\vtop{\offinterlineskip %\bfseries
\setbox0=\hbox{B}%
\setbox2=\hbox to\wd0{\hfil\hskip-.03em
\vrule height .3ex width .15ex\hskip .08em
\vrule height .3ex width .15ex\hfil}
\vbox{\copy2\box0}\box2}}
and
\def\bitcoinB{\leavevmode
{\setbox0=\hbox{\textsf{B}}%
\dimen0\ht0 \advance\dimen0 0.2ex
\ooalign{\hfil \box0\hfil\cr
\hfil\vrule height \dimen0 depth.2ex\hfil\cr
}%
}%
}
and
\def\bitcoinC{\leavevmode\rlap{\hskip.5pt-}B}
A variant, more inline with the “official” rendering (see http://bitcoinsymbol.org)
\documentclass{article}
\DeclareRobustCommand{\bitcoin}{{%
\normalfont\sffamily
\raisebox{-.05ex}{\makebox[.1\width][l]{-\kern-.2em-}}B%
}}
\begin{document}
\bitcoin
\end{document}
Of course the adjustments depend on the document sans serif font.
From the site:
Thanks for the bitcoin symbol. Here is an attempt at drawing the Litecoin symbol in latex
\newcommand{\diaCo}{\mkern-\medmuskip\rotatebox[origin=c]{45}{\scalebox{0.9}{$-$}}\mkern-\medmuskip}%
\def\litecoin{\leavevmode\rlap{\hskip-1.3pt \textbf{$\diaCo$}}L}
