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. 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. 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.
