Honestly? I can't even really remember why I checked for it. Rabbit holes, you know. Let's see if we can remember, no?

#Unicodia is open in the b/g, so I was looking for glyph or something to use for an icon, most likely (knowing how i operate). Nope, it wasn't there, so I opened Andrew West's #Babelmap - nope. Not there either. I know it's a legit symbol, because it's ancient Hindi (from what I learned about it decades ago), but as #appropriated and used elsewhere since the advent of mass media, it's most commonly perceived within that context. So, it's very sour and terrible. We all know that Some people don't agree with that, or whatever, not trying to start THAT argument. My question is more "one of science".

Like a civil science. Linguistics as well. Ask #chatGPT, right? Anyway.

I sought after a proper story about what were the processes involved in removing it from the #Unicode plane, etc. (haven't made it that far yet).

I found this. After as much effort and thought I cared to expend on it, wondering: what is this guy's point? It came to me.

Why'm I so stupid sometimes?

I wonder if the author was truly publishing from that perspective. "Let's get some hits! Can I beat my #SEO high-score from yesterday, or will it cost me more #quarters?"

The image is a screenshot from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) website describing the "Aryan Fist" symbol. Here is a detailed description for visually impaired users:
Description:

Title: Aryan Fist

Alternate Names: White Power Fist, White Fist

Symbol: The symbol depicted is an upright clenched fist, drawn in black and white. The fist is a common representation of defiance, unity, and power.

Text Description:
The upright clenched fist has long been used as a symbol (both graphically and as a hand gesture) to represent themes such as defiance, unity, and power. In the 1960s and 1970s, black nationalist groups in the United States and elsewhere often used a dark-skinned clenched fist gesture or image as a "black power" symbol. By the 1980s, white supremacists in the United States and elsewhere had appropriated this symbol, substituting a white fist. White supremacists frequently claim that they use the symbol to represent "white pride" or "white power."

Logo:
In the top right corner of the image, there is the ADL logo with the tagline "FIGHTING HATE FOR GOOD."
