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 …

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.

A lot, perhaps, but certainly not all, and not universally by any stretch. Unicode's purpose is to represent all of the world's languages and cultures textually. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika#/media/File:Swastika_Svastika_Buddhist_auspiciousness_symbol_in_Taiwan_crop.jpg …
