Even though Ethereum currently has a logo, an unicode symbol is still needed. By being a currency, you will find ETH values used a lot in websites and apps and we think it’s better to replace ‘ETH’ with a simple symbol, similar to USD ($) values.
Originally a Greek capital letter Xi, this symbol represent Ethereum well and it also can be stylized, customized in every way you want. A use case would be to replace the ‘E’ on the Ethereum name, like Ξthereum.
The symbol can be displayed in a lot of fonts, those being free fonts, paid fonts or fonts installed in your computer. Here’s how it looks in some different free Google Fonts.
