IMHO consistency is not *that* important. A good solution could easily have an "i" for en, and some Chinese character on zh. If the symbol looks roughly the same (white text on blue background, in the appropriate corner), that's good enough. "i" is pretty well understood internationally anyway.
It's true. Your suggestion is consistent enough. But now you've now taken it out of my ability to impliment. Replacing a single icon is easy. Setting icons for 209 languages is much harder. ;)
This is the enwiki mailing list. Our first priority is to make it work on the English Wikipedia, and to choose the alternative that is best *for us*.
In my opinion, the (C) really gives the wrong impression. It will be understood to mean: don't copy this image. Which is exactly the wrong message for an encyclopedia that tries to be Free.
