no matter how you slice it, the Jain Svastika is just not a good emoji idea.

- kevin_thibedeau 4y agoIt already exists in the CJK glyphs. A historic misappropriation shouldn't penalize the people who justifiably have a right to it.
- wlonkly 4y agoPoke around on Google Maps in Kyoto, you'll see _lots_ of swastikas representing temples. It's definitely jarring at first for Western sensibilities, but from India east to the Pacific, people kept using the swastika for what it meant before the Nazis. (And _since_ they use it -- especially symbolically to mean "temple"! -- it needs to be represented in Unicode.)
