RE: A Right and Proper Currency Symbol for SBD: $Đ
I would support the SteemIt logo or ♨ being used as the currency symbol for steem. But the main reason I see a need for a $Đ is to reduce confusion among newbies and people who aren't interested in learning about crypto, but would still use it—IOW, the average end-user. There is a currency called "steem," another called "steem dollars," and yet another called "(US) dollars." This can be confusing for end-users. Also, SBD is, of course the tracker used on exchanges, but $Đ would be used on things like Peerhub.
Also, yeah, we could create new symbols, but it takes a long time to get these added to ISO 4217.
the dashed D is almost exactly a Dash D symbol
Sorry, I don't know what you mean.

Personally, I like the tickers used in forex. 100USD, 5000EUR, and for steem, 100SD. But for Steem itself... that arabic looking symbol looks like a good candidate. But too much like a steaming pancake.
I think there's been a slight miscommunication. Currencies have exchange symbols, e.g. USD, and currency symbols, e.g. $. These two things have completely different uses and purposes. I'm in favor of
SBD&$Đ, respectively.Interesting about Dash. I found out dogecoin uses the Đ as well. But no one else uses $Đ. 😊
Oh, and ♨ is the onsen, or hot springs, emoji. You often see it at Japanese hot springs, maps, etc.
