I wonder why you chose and deleted any mention of LN address. Shouldn't we mention Lightning Addresses at least somewhere as an example of reusable payment requests? Is it because similarity to e-mail may causes some confusion?
@jakubszwedo to generate a lightning address so you can receive to it is a custodial option (which this reference design is solely focused on non-custodial usage). We cover sending to one in the sending page which is fine to do.
You need to setup your own server to create a non-custodial lightning address which our ideal user of this wallet would likely not be doing.
@sbddesign my hunch is that a reason that many wallets use BTC is because their fonts don't support the unicode symbol. As for as consistency goes, the units & symbol page uses the ₿ symbol, and so do the activity page and savings wallet. Don't think we use BTC anywhere, really. We have such a cool symbol with ₿, would be a weird not to use it IMHO.
As for Sats, I don' think there is a single-character symbol. However, if you look at how cent is used (which is the sub-unit of many currencies, not just $), both the unicode ¢ are valid, as well as the lower case c. So maybe just a lowercase s? Would be a new convention we'd introduce (but it's not like people are super familiar with Sats either).
But as you said, this is a separate discussion from the purpose of this PR.

That's something interesting to explore, lets come back to this with the prototype though.
