The following story was forwarded to me. The "offending" characters in question are, I take it, the left-facing and right-facing swastika symbols, often used in Tibetan, found among the Chinese ideographs at U+534D (yung-drung-chi-khor) and U+5350 (yung-drung-nang-khor).
I hope that this story is not true.

I probably is true given the pathetic knowledge of language and appreciation of languages other than English within the community. If users of the symbols in question claim discrimination we'll have another inflamed battle royal.
