Adding A Bitcoin Symbol

The Bitcoin Symbol (dec 8383 hex $20BF) is new to Unicode 10.

  1. Insert the new character
  2. Add the code below to the correct position (by codepoint) after all of the other definitions for Currency Symbols in CompositeData.xml (i.e. before ) or use my version of ComposteData.xml (attached)
  3. Use Complete Composites on the glyph
  4. Adjust the position of the vertical lines to suit your glyph
  5. Select all and use Get Union of Contours to combine the composite into a simple glyph

I added a definition to generate it to my copy of CompositeData.xml.
