In reply to Turkey: a new symbol for the lira:
> it is clearly not a variant of U+20A4 …
• It is a kind of L with a double crossbar,
• it stands for “Lira”,
• it is meant to be a currency sign.
What’s that other than 20A4?
The artificially “designed” symbol of the azerbaidshan currency Manat has been just recently rejected for encoding by ISO, because it was not shown in usage. For some good reason the international character set is not intended to present propagandistic logos or whatsoevers launched by governments to illustrate their pride.
If the “new design” comes in use in Turkey, I presume, then it will end up on the market blackboard looking more or less like ₤.
