What was wrong with the previous one?
Seeing a balance of ⚡ 502 000 implies that all the funds are spendable on Lightning, even if they're not (which's the case for wallets like Bitkit that also support on-chain balances).

The kebab was introduced in 2021, yet today it's only used by a handful of products (Envoy/Passport, Lightspark, LNMarkets, Thunderhub). There isn't even consensus around it among bitcoiners, so there's almost zero chance of it ever becoming a Unicode symbol, which puts it on a death spiral it has been in the past years (no unicode symbol > no adoption > no unicode). On top of that, the kebab resembles the ETH symbol (Ξ).

Yeah, I've never been a fan. Confused the fuck out of me when I saw it on Thunderhub the first time. Just wanted to clarify bc I've never thought the lightning bolt represented sats... just LN in general.
