What symbol represents caring?

There are few objects, animals, and pictographs that represent mercy. In the tradition of the west, many signs associated with Jesus are vaguely associated with mercy, including white doves and the Eucharist; but these can be loaded with other symbolism and may be inappropriate for a non-religious setting. In Asia, the Buddhist Goddess Guan Yin is the symbol of mercy, represented in flowing robes and a moderately ornate headdress. She is not immediately recognizable by western audiences. The most curious twist in the symbolism of mercy is the case of the swastika. In ancient india, it was a solid and unambivalent symbol for mercy and there are many artifacts attesting to its popularity as a design motif. Today, however, it is considered offensive to display because it was the main symbol of Hitler's Third Reich, and is still used by white supremacists as a tool of fear and oppression. To the western eye, it has lost all connotation of mercy and is most frequently encountered in hate groups and pranksters looking to shock and annoy people. Drastic measures are often taken by businesses, government, and individuals when Swastikas are displayed inappropriately in the western world. For all it's controversy, it is still in use today as a buddihst symbol of mercy, particuarly within Tibetian buddhism-- much to the confusion of many westerners.
