Time to agree with Michael.
"Get over it," is good advice here.
Sovereign countries are free to decree currency symbols, whatever their
motivation or the putative artistic or typographic merits of the symbol
in question. Not for Unicode to judge.
I'd have to agree here.
On a slightly (although maybe only slightly) related matter, what about
if Unicode didn't judge how difficult it should be to display national
flags. Creating a way to display flags from two-tag combinations and
then later realizing that a sequence of such tags didn't locally parse,
and the whole thing has to be redone, doesn't seem like a very good
alternative to just encoding these things (not that I think that just
encoding these is a very good alternative either, though).
