Great to see a playful response to your president.

But you can only see the Apple logo in his display name and bio on an Apple product because they used a special symbol. The rest of us have to put up with a Unicode unknown character box. The arrogance of it.

Non-language Unicode characters are a tool of the Technical Illuminati to coerce us into using emoticons instead of native language words in literature and communications. Eventually they'll be able to issue font updates to 'change' published literature in place.
