What is the status of the Azerbaijani manat currency symbol (which looks
like the euro symbol, but rotated 90° clockwise and with just a single
vertical bar crossing it, so that it looks quite like a lowercase "m" with
an unusual letter form and M-height)? Is there a proposal to encode it?
It is shown on English Wikipedia, but also, more convincingly, appears on
publications by the Azeri National Bank like this one (at the top of the
displayed cover page):

For now, the Manat is commonly abbreviated as "m." or "man." (or their
Cyrillic equivalents), but if the symbol was defined or used by the ANB
itself, it may appear in other publications, and may start being displayed
instead of the previous abbreviations for pricing in shops.
