Hot take: if you think Apple should get rid of the "anti-gay emoji" (a technical feature of Unicode, not an explicit thing), you should also get rid of images, as they can be used for the same purpose. And text altogether. This is a people problem, not a technology problem. https://twitter.com/HeyItsShuga/status/1098041971459928065 …

Now if Unicode had a swastika set at 45° (that wasn't the result of a generic feature to rotate characters), *that's* when I'd start being worried, because as far as I can tell that is quite strictly a Nazi thing. Intent matters, and this stuff is subtle.

Yes and no. You have to be careful with that, a lot of cultures disowned the image of the non-inverted swastika post-wwII because the inverted swastika had tainted it's meaning. There are some words/symbols where intent doesn't matter, the meaning is clear or has changed.
