Unicodes basically provide a way to represent text in multiple languages, symbols, and emoji by assigning each character a special unique number. As Time reported, the reason you can see it, as well as accents in a French city name, or Japanese kanji on an online storefront, is the Unicode Standard, created by the Unicode Consortium. Apparently, it's possible to put a crossed-out sign through any emoji on mobile.

Folks went berserk when they caught wind of an anti-LGBTQ emoji, which depicted a rainbow flag with a crossed-out circle over the image, but it seems to be a glitch in the system.
