Condom Emoji

Unicode's thought police blocked the condom emoji: since people are smarter than bureaucrats, they use the umbrella (☔) instead.

Birth Control (Pills or Condoms) are something that Unicode thought was too controversial to allow, so they blocked efforts to add it. Which doesn't stop people from expressing it with Emoji: they just use the umbrella with raindrops (☔) instead.

2018 - Nora Hamada and Megan Giller applied to the Unicode Consortium for an emoji to represent birth control pills. They thought it was the first "Birth Control" emoji, but a condom company beat them to that, by a few years, and was also rejected.

Durex (Condom maker) applied for a condom emoji back in 2015, but it was rejected.

The thought police might have felt it was too racy or commercialized. Now people just use an umbrella with raindrops instead: ☔.. . So what did the douchebags at Unicode succeed at?

Universal symbols (hieroglyphs) for signage is good. Political Correctness defining them makes them dumb
