    A rose by any other name

    The figure has other names besides swastika. In heraldry, The figure is
    called a fylfot or sometimes a gammidion (four gammas arrayed). It has many
    variations as to orientation, direction, and using bent arms or knees as the
    gamma. It's common to see an array of three as in the arms of Sicily or the
    Isle of Man.
