Did he use this particular scheme? That is something I would expect to
see on the scheme's web site, and would probably be good evidence for a
proposal.
 
I do see several awards related to the concept, but few examples where
this scheme is actually in use, especially in plain text.
 
I'm not opposed to this type of symbol, but I like to think the classic
rule about "established, not ephemeral" would still apply.
