Why does Google use a blacklist of characters and not a whitelist? Only letters, numbers, punctuations in targeted languages should be allowed.

Why does Google use a blacklist of characters and not a whitelist? Only letters, numbers, punctuations in targeted languages should be allowed.
- cleverjake 15y agowhat makes you think that they don't do this?
- chime 15y ago> Any ad that contains a character from a predefined blacklist of special characters is automatically flagged for manual review and promptly denied by Google's approvals department. I can understand the use of blacklist for flagging for manual review. But I don't understand why new, previously-unknown characters are allowed. If they were using whitelist for approved characters, certainly the emoji characters would have been stripped, replaced, or flagged for review.
