In recent news, an American volunteer in the Israeli army
was sentenced to 11 days in confinement for eating a pork 
sandwich while in uniform.

I presume this emoji will be filtered out of most middle
eastern text channels - Muslims avoid pork as well.  Is
there a hadith about permissible text symbols?  And what
did the great Jewish scholars like Maimonides say?
