Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Even a hand gesture might have significantly different meanings. A cross is seen as different things depending on the culture that faces it. Same goes to specific symbols. The swastika is a religious symbol that usually means something related to divinity and spirituality in many Indian cultures, but is currently associated as well to Nazism.
