Works here 😉

Seriously though, there is the  
Admin → Settings → Posting - censored word  
setting.

Though it could help some, don’t count on it.

Just as I posted unicode for the black squares, you’ll find that some can be very inventive at finding ways to by-pass it.

Of course if you do censor a word and someone goes out of their way to post it, you will know it was intended and not done in ignorance.

Off-Topic a bit, but until there is a way to add URLs to Screened URLs this setting works a treat at foiling link drops such as adf.ly  
URLS don’t work with tricks
