Add the Spesmilo sign (₷) #51

Full Latin coverage would include the Esperanto alphabet including its diacritic letters. Can I also request the dedicated symbol for the ill-fated spesmilo?

From Wikipedia:

Spesmilo sign ⟨₷⟩ The spesmilo sign, called spesmilsigno in Esperanto, is a monogram of a cursive capital "S", from whose tail emerges an "m".[7] The currency sign is often typeset as the separate letters Sm.[8]

In Unicode, the character is assigned U+20B7 ₷ SPESMILO SIGN[9] in version 5.2.[10]

Adding the Spesmilo sign is a great idea; I wasn't aware of the symbol. I'm definitely going to add it to Darwin eventually. Thank you for letting me know about it!
