Everybody knows this icon.


Now let me show you something!



I've merely highlighted what is already in the icon, to make it easier for you to see the horror that lies beneath.

Swastika isn't used by Nazi party first, you probably know that, don't you?



I know you're joking <3


Edit: Leo before me. But I believe we are both trolled since his intention was probably to get the same reactions as ours.

No you.
Of course I know that, it was also at the bottom of the Carlsberg beer bottles at the beginning of the 20th century, up until it became associated with the nazi party, then the brewery removed that icon.
This is apparently at the gates to their HQ in denmark.

I don't like the symbol's exclusive association with the Nazi party either. It is certainly an important event in the symbol's history, but locking it down to just that (and even forbidding its display in Germany) is an insult to the symbol, which means primarily good. Smile

This happens to all non-standard domains (like Hebrew, Arabic, Central-European, etc). Smile

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internationalized_domain_name

Quote:
The conversions between ASCII and non-ASCII forms of a domain name are accomplished by algorithms called ToASCII and ToUnicode. These algorithms are not applied to the domain name as a whole, but rather to individual labels. For example, if the domain name is www.example.com, then the labels are www, example, and com. ToASCII or ToUnicode are applied to each of these three separately.

The details of these two algorithms are complex, and are specified in RFC 3490. The following gives an overview of their function.

ToASCII leaves unchanged any ASCII label, but will fail if the label is unsuitable for the Domain Name System. If given a label containing at least one non-ASCII character, ToASCII will apply the Nameprep algorithm, which converts the label to lowercase and performs other normalization, and will then translate the result to ASCII using Punycode[15] before prepending the four-character string "xn--".[16] This four-character string is called the ASCII Compatible Encoding (ACE) prefix, and is used to distinguish Punycode encoded labels from ordinary ASCII labels. The ToASCII algorithm can fail in several ways; for example, the final string could exceed the 63-character limit of a DNS name. A label for which ToASCII fails cannot be used in an internationalized domain name.

The function ToUnicode reverses the action of ToASCII, stripping off the ACE prefix and applying the Punycode decode algorithm. It does not reverse the Nameprep processing, since that is merely a normalization and is by nature irreversible. Unlike ToASCII, ToUnicode always succeeds, because it simply returns the original string if decoding fails. In particular, this means that ToUnicode has no effect on a string that does not begin with the ACE prefix.

Unfortunately our American school's don't recognize the importance of that and during history classes the swastika is only referred to with Nazi's. I honestly didn't know it had other meanings up until you posted about it in another thread like last year sometime.

Well, I tell this to everyone who will listen, but only few do. I had a history teacher in high school who said I was I was making fun of the holocaust Rolling Eyes Then the next lesson she apologized and said she read about it and I was right lol. I guess it is too soon for some still, even after 60 years, to throw away the misconceptions.

In Safari there is no conversion in address bar with http://www.卐.com and some other unicode domains I have tried.

But there is still address bar conversion for http://президент.рф --> http://xn--d1abbgf6aiiy.xn--p1ai/

Can't we just go with the believe that the symbol is "bad" and is it really that important to educate people about the meaning attributed to it all those years ago?
