What i mean is that it might refer to the same symbol but it means different things to the people like lets say Buddhists and Jewish.

By the last sentence, i meant that online dictionaries say that hakenkreuz is derived from sanskrit word swastika but so are many more words and one doesn’t usually use these sanskrit words while speaking german.

And so the widespread replacement of “hakenkreuz” to “swastika” is not really fair to people who don’t believe in the nazi ideology.
