Are you sure the Unicode value is correct? On my system (Opera for Linux with the Helvetica font), the glyph is quite clearly a patriarchal cross. --Carnildo 04:52, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Description vs. images

The description of the Cross of Lorraine ("The lower bar is as close to the bottom of the vertical as the upper bar is to the top") doesn't match the images of the flag of Free France or the coin. Slicing 08:29, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

Also, the image of the Norsefire emblem from V for Vendetta is completely out of place, since it does not represent a Cross of Lorraine or share common origin. I am removing it for this reason. I just noticed that most of the pictures depict a patriarchal cross rather than a Cross of Lorraine. this is simply wrong and will need to be corrected. I have added links to the See also section so that it now correctly cross references with the Patriarchal cross article. ScottW 04:41, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
