Based on this discussion, my current conclusion is:

  • Visually similar symbols like 0x0B05 or 0xBE05 might be appealing and intuitive to anyone who is familiar with the history of Haiku, OpenBeOS, and BeOS.
  • 5038 (or 0x5038 as a hex USHORT), on the other hand, while not seeming obvious, has appeared in official media by BeOS, and is endorsed by community members who have spent a lot of their time using and building Haiku.

For magic values like this, I personally prefer something with a deeper back story. Therefore, if there are no further votes, I will soon modify this PR to use 0x5038 :slight_smile:
