We use 卍 for a mark of temple on a map, and some peolpe have a one of family emblem (家紋） in Japan, and Hinduism, Buddhism, and also Native American use it for a symbol of happy. But long time ago, this mark was a symbol of Nazi Germany. So some people think they don't use it anymore and permit using it. However, we had used it as a family emblem or crest before Nazi Germany have used it. If it is not allowed by them, a historied family emblem will be lost. I think it is difficult matter, but I know why some poeple said that they don't use it more. I think it is not only matter of symbol, so we should be care of using gesture or words in another country or for another country person.
