Google Trends’s “Hot Trends” that features aggregated overview of recently popular search queries, shows a “Swastika” in one of the top spots. A swastika (Ã¥??)is a holy in Hinduism and Buddhism, but it was also used by the Nazi party. Could this possibly be some kind of defacement group-effort or scripting, trying to sneak a Unicode character into Google trends? After all, Google can be searched for symbols like Yin-Yang, the swastika and so on though one would figure Google Trends uses a large enough statistical sampling that this can’t be easily skewed.
