U+0FD7 "࿗" Right-Facing Svasti Sign with Dots Unicode Character

U+0FD7 "࿗" Right-Facing Svasti Sign with Dots is a symbol from the Tibetan script block, representing a sacred and auspicious mark in Tibetan Buddhism. This particular variant of the svasti, often associated with the swastika symbol found in many Eastern traditions, is distinguished by the addition of four dots surrounding the cross-like arms, one in each quadrant. The right-facing orientation, known as the gandan or rgyal-mtshan in Tibetan, traditionally signifies good fortune, eternity, and the auspicious qualities of the Buddha's teachings, and the dots may represent the four immeasurables or the four directions of enlightenment. While visually similar to other svastika forms, the specific combination of the right-facing direction and the dots gives this character a unique function in liturgical texts and decorative contexts within Himalayan cultures.
