Apple's corporate logo is a legally protected symbol. Apple strongly
opposes its formal encoding in Unicode (and really doesn't want people
other than Apple using it in text, despite the fact that it's in all our
fonts).
Anyone who *does* use it in text is free to use U+F8FF, as we do, to map
it to Unicode.
