I guess both of 卍and 卐 (swastika, स्वस्तिक) were imported into Chinese characters from ancient India Buddhism hundreds years ago Both of them mean something like luck or fortune in east Asia. Most western people don’t know them until one of them was borrowed by Nazi.
What about leave the problem to IP or policy guys. Let's finish repertoire, variant coordination and generation rules first.

Dear Chris-san,
I suspect there may be other characters in there that could cause offence, but 卐 5350 could be horribly abused. I realize that the character it represents is used innocently in temples.
The reason why this character (U+5350) is in J-LGR-2 is that this is defined as variant of U+534D in C-LGR-1. U+534D is in J-LGR-1 repertoire, so it was integrated into J-LGR-2 by proposed integration algorithm.
As you see in J-LGR-2.xlsx, U+5350 is marked as (o) or (b), so it will never appear on Root zone if it is used in applied-for string as Japanese IDN TLD.

Dear Yoneya-san,
I mentioned in my last email that one of the things I found in J-LGR-2.xlsx was of a more serious nature.

It is not our responsibility to make decisions about cases such as this and as far as I know, no part of the existing system deals with them. However, having observed long discussion over cases such as .xxx and .sucks, alarm bells do go off and one feels one should draw 5350 to the attention of colleagues.
