Except their logo wasn't stolen.

X is using a standard Unicode symbol.

Is something like a unicode symbol even valid as a trademark?

Probably not protectable, no. It has to be in use in commerce and distinctive. That said, with enough money you can buy enough lawyers to warp reality, so who knows.

Which one?

[–] oscar@programming.dev 29 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

𝕏 (U+1D54F) and/or 𝕩 (U+1D569)

If you search blackboard bold or double-struck letters you can find more.

So basically musk is so cheap (and toxic) he can't even convince any graphic designers to work for him.

Lol

𝕏 is a Unicode character known as "mathematical double-struck capital X."
