this is the anti-defamation league’s hate symbol database. it’s massive and includes details about what symbols mean and where you might see them.
i’m a tattoo artist and use this all the time when i see a symbol i don’t recognize—better safe than sorry. it’s saved me from working with white supremacists a few times.
I’m glad to see the arrow cross (last one( there! It originates from Hungary and was used by the nazi party here, but it was banned after WWII. It barely shows up in guides/warnings like this and idk if they still use it but better safe than sorry.

After searching, ‘92’ does not appear to be a hate symbol. The only reference I can find to it is a reddit post, in reference to the same image as above.The rest are listed in the ADL hate symbol database.
It should be noted that several of these symbols, such as the sonnenrad, are ancient symbols that have been appropriated by Nazis, and therefore may be considered non-racist in specific contexts.
Source: 'Because sonnenrad imagery is used by many cultures around the world, one should not assume that most sonnenrad-like images necessarily denote racism or white supremacy; rather, they should be analyzed carefully in the context in which they appear.’
I have linked to the ADL page for the symbols below.
