U+0FD5 "࿕" Right-Facing Svasti Sign is an ancient symbol from Tibetan and other Dharmic traditions, representing auspiciousness, eternity, and good fortune, and it is distinct from the Nazi swastika due to its religious orientation and context. This character is part of the Tibetan script block in Unicode, where it is used in texts related to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism, often appearing in art, architecture, and spiritual writings. The right-facing variant, also known as the clockwise svastika, symbolizes the sun, prosperity, and the cycle of life, and its inclusion in Unicode ensures proper digital representation for languages and cultural documents that rely on this sacred motif.
