@csk@mathstodon.xyz @henryseg@mathstodon.xyz @hallunke23@troet.cafe the word Swastika may refer to two chiral versions, left and right rotating. The Nazi symbol only has one version. When I’m talking about mirroring the symbol to avoid Nazi, it is confusing to use the word Swastika, so I didn’t use it.

@nanma80@mathstodon.xyz @henryseg@mathstodon.xyz @hallunke23@troet.cafe Ah, fair enough. I'll have to think about whether we can distinguish the two orientations without invoking nazis. My first thought was swasticwa and swasticcwa, but that's fairly awkward (and still ambiguous) (and silly).
