Using the capital punishment symbol instead of the killed in action symbol suggests windows was executed after the war (likely by installing linux lol)

    There are variations of the Skull and Crossbones here that have specific meaning?

    It is not a Christian cross, the symbol is the dagger † which is also often used for adding post-scriptum information or challenging parts of a text.

    People often mistake it for a cross, given the look, but there's no actual preference towards any religion here.

    The cross is an entirely different unicode character: ✝
