Amusingly, even the Thais often don't spell baht "correctly". I'm there right now and see prices specified any number of ways:
100 บาท (in the local language)
100 B
100 ฿
100 BAHT
100 BATH (disturbingly common)
None of it matters of course as the meaning is totally evident from the context, but it's interesting coming from countries where symbols like $ or ¥ are totally dominant. ฿ is probably the least common of all of them (yes, less common than "bath") and it's kind of easy to see why - there's only one conceivable meaning a capital B could have coming after a number in Thailand, so why even bother learning the keystrokes to bring up the unicode?
- caf 8y agoVery much like c in place of ¢ for cents which is very common in some places. I've even seen e instead of €.
