Personally I find "Ɱ" easier to read than "₥", especially at small sizes like this forum. Also, the line through the "m" might be interpreted as crossing it out (diagonal lines like this are not common in currency symbols). I like how "Ɱ" looks like an "M + J" -- which fits with "Moneroj".
Change official Monero sign from "ɱ" to "₥"

In my opinion, "ɱ" doesn't really give the average individual the idea of money like "₿" does. Signs for money have always had lines stuck through letters in their appearence (¥, ¢, $, €, £, ₩, ₽). Fiat currencies, sure, but I see no reason as to why we would need to break this tradition; one that all of us are already used to. Relatively speaking, "₥" is not even publicly used by anything or anyone anymore (see). This grants us the opportunity to perhaps permanently establish "₥" as the official sign for Monero (We would also be ironically insulting the sign's former fiat definition).
What do you guys think about my proposal? Thanks for reading.
Example: This shirt costs ₥0.06.
I like the idea.

This is not true. Franc was "F" or "FF" for "Franc Français", Deutsch Mark was "DM"...
