Swastika

The swastika (Sanskrit: m. स्वस्तिक "happiness, salvation"; actually "to be good", from su- "good" and asti, the noun of as- "to be", usually translated as: "All is well"), a cross with arms bent to the right 卐 or left 卍, which can also be pointed, flat-angled or rounded and decorated with circles, lines, dots or ornaments, is a symbol of (good) luck that has been demonstrably widespread for at least 6000 years in Europe, Asia and, less frequently, in Africa, Central America and Polynesia.
