Quite possibly it could be the swastikas--or the Star of David even. Of course the swastika--as we know the symbol-- had meaning and significance long before it was co-opted by the Nazis and there is an obvious use for a font with that character or variations of it to be used by historians, theologians, etc. So nope.. I'm sticking by the article--it's gotta be the heart or the dollar-sign.

Did you come up with this one yourself, or did you lift it from the Onion? Either way, it's a funny one.

I think you're kidding, but the 2nd character on the 6th row is the legitimate swaztika. The 14th character on the 5th row is the Nazi swaztika (the "crooked cross"). Notice how it's on an angle, subverting the "grounded" symbolism of the ancient swaztika. And its also on the same row as the Star of David.
The "critical" patch is silly, but I do think Microsoft is reasonable to purge the symbol. But are they purging the whole table? Some of those symbols are important.
