I am not certain that the existing code position is satisfactory for non-CJK use. That is, Tibetan, Norse, Native American, Scouting use, and so on. Those NEVER show Han brush-stroke shapes. I would like to see some discussion about whether the properties those characters have are suitable for use in other contexts.
That may be true, but...
The tilted Nazi swastika is a DIFFERENT character again.
It is precisely the tilted Nazi swastika, not "something that looks kinda like it, but is used by other people for other reasons," nothing else, the tilted Nazi swastika, 3:1 thickness/length ratio of the arms (or however you choose to measure it), exactly that, which I find myself thinking should be encoded, evil as it was. That there are good and proper reasons to encode *a* swastika (or several) is probably not hard to show. But I wonder about *the* swastika.

P.S. I'm not trying to champion the inclusion of The swastika; certainly nobody should expect me to propose it. I mention this because the discussions here have been conflating The swastika with A swastika, and answers to one don't necessarily answer the other.
