It seems to me that Dharma-chakra was intended to refer to the same symbol as Dharmacakra, and so could just be converted to a redirect. As far as content, there's not too much in the Dharma-chakra article that's not in Dharmacakra, but it would be good to have a section that would say more about the Jain use of the symbol (which I don't know anything about).

Is there any reason why the spelling "Dharmacakra" is used over "Dharmachakra"? The latter seems to be more common, at least from a Google search. zaiken 07:30, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
It's the standard transcription of the Sanskrit word. Sanskrit distinguishes "c" (unaspirated) from "ch" (aspirated). RandomCritic 14:12, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

- There's a full discussion of this at Flag of India. The original symbol was a spinning wheel, it's true, but in 1947, it was changed to the same design as the Dharmacakra on the Asoka pillar. RandomCritic 00:14, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
