Where does Microsoft have the svastika glyph on their fonts? On

which font file?

 

Anyway, I think Hindu Dharma, Jaina Dharma and Buddha Dhamma should

reclaim svastika from the nazi appropriation of this glyph.

 

Svastika occurs on over 50 epigraphs of Sarasvati Civilization. I

have interpreted this glyph as zinc, jasta, satva, satta (Kannada.

Hindi); rebus: satthiya 'svastika glyph' (Prakrit).

 

In the dictionary of Sarasvati hieroglyphs, this svastika hieroglyph

has to be shown and it will be nice to have the glyph included in

Microsoft font files. After all, microsoft depends on Bharatiya

engineers to help make their money.

 

We cannot allow MNCs to dictate terms to us on our sacred glyphs and

icons.
