Several people on Twitter slammed Binance''s CEO for using Hitler''s logo insensitively. The Swastika symbol is a bloody remembrance of World War II and the Holocaust catastrophes.
After he was hampered by social media, the crypto exchange issued an apology for its egregious humiliation.
Well, it''s obvious that it''s been extremely awsome. We''re not sure how that emoji came through several sections of review without anyone noticing, but immediately flagged the issue, pulled it down, and the new emoji is now being released as we speak, according to the company''s 8.4 million Twitter followers just hours after the emoji was posted.
Binance CEO Zhao tweeted the new emoji on April 20, along with popular community hashtags #Binance, #BNB, and #BitcoinButton.

Following several layers of research, fr if Binance didn''t notice their new emoji was a swastika, then you''ve got to begin wondering what else they aren''t seeing.

Benette Tomlin, the co-host of the podcast Crypto Critics'' Corner, denied Binance, claiming that whoever approved the symbol may have limited cultural knowledge to diagnose the issue.
It''s possible that the people who worked on this and approved it did not have the cultural knowledge to comprehend how this might be described.
While Hitler''s black-coloured Swasitka symbol was somewhat tilted, its original representation, usually in orange or red, is considered evident in Asian cultures, including Hinduism.
