It caught my attention a while back when I found some game art for LoZ. Official game art. It's labeled here as "Manji"

EDIT: I just found this on Wikipedia:

QuoteThe symbol as it is used in Buddhist art and scripture is known in Japanese as a manji (literally, "the character for eternality" 萬字), and represents Dharma, universal harmony, and the balance of opposites.

It was a sign of peace, before Hitler used it :P
Then it became a Jewish oppression symbol.
Kind of like how Gays took rainbows :[
