I could be wrong but apparently, in far-right social media sites, they do it to identify Jewish people in a way that's difficult for Google and other search engines to identify as hate speech so others have started adding it to their name as a way of showing solidarity.
This sort of explains why but I'm still not sure of its effectiveness or how widespread the practice was by the far-right. I can't see the point other than virtue signalling.

Heard the same, some sort of echo symbol. It's now been turned on its head by Jewish people and others as a sort of reclamation, to reduce its power to insult or cause harm. I guess.
It all seems a bit childish rather than offensive, an in-joke by a bunch of wallies.
No, it's dangerous and racist.
