I don't think Simon Wiesenthal would agree with you. However, I would
suggest that the double-lightning-bolt sign falls under the rule
against proprietary (even though, in this case, merely formerly
proprietary) logos, hence it is not admissible as a Unicode character.

A single-element font should certainly be sufficient for anyone.
There are a number of single-element fonts containing corporate
logos, and other examples like the fort containing the
artist-formerly-known-as-Prince name glyph, which he claims has no
pronunciation. (I have privately assigned it the reading,
"What's-'is-name?")

He would answer to "Hi!" or to any loud cry,
Such as "Fry me!" or "Fritter my wig!"
To "What-you-may-call-um!" or "What-was-his-name!"
But especially "Thing-um-a-jig!"
While, for those who preferred a more forcible word,
He had different names from these:
His intimate friends called him "Candle-ends,"
And his enemies "Toasted-cheese."
