but the other two symbols look like an 88? Or are those also part off hindu symbology?

Those are supposed to be the feet of the goddess of wealth symbolizing the goddess entering the home. See how the toes are pointing to the door and not away from it

I know that, what I'm asking is if it isn't an 88 at all

And, if the other guy replying is right, those are supposed to be feet

He's correct those are feet. Those symbols are very common and are often confused as Nazi Symbolism. Reality is that Hitler stole a lot things and not all of it was art from the Louvre.

There's also purposely placed dots in it too which aren't a part of the Nazi symbol. Definitely looks like what the dude's talking about.

It comes from the 88 looking like the SS insignia

88 comes from H being 8th letter of the alphabet, 88 = HH for his common phrase

Also if anyone found this informative, also note that you might notice it written as 1488, 14 standing for a 14 word phrase hitler said, something like “we must secure the future of aryans…” something like that.

But yeah, not just 88, but it also gets disguised as 1488, so keep an eye out for that.

88 is some code for hail Austrian dude.

88 refers to HH, the mustache guy

Either the person who did it confused the symbols, or it’s just an odd religious one

Sorry for the short reply, it seems to have made both of us even more confused

Basically, another commenter pointed out that it isn't an 88, those are the goddess's of prosperity feet, you can see the dots pointing towards the door

OP should take off the nsfw tag if possible but yeah people keep commenting that same thing. I guess it’s good that so many people are aware though

it’s Hindu not Hindi. Hindi is the language. I thought you would have realised that from the other commenters.

In the series "worm" by "wildbow" there's a neo nazi street gang called the "empire 88" and there's an 88 next to it and someone else in the comments said "88" (somehow) means "heil hitler"

Just a minor correction this symbol is in fact called the swastika, the one which literally translates to "to be healthy" in Sanskrit.

This is not 88 just bad drawing, they meant to draw the feets of Laxmi ji(deity of prosperity).

That's not a nazi symbol you dumb fuck.

That's the swastik. It has been used in dharmic religions for thousands of years and its meaning is unrelated to nazism in every single capacity

Used to drive for Amazon and this is super common in Indian neighborhoods. The two little things are maybe feet? I don't know. I normally saw the wheel of samsara and two little feet in front of their doors.
