I am looking for a latex symbol for glasses (eye glasses…)? I can find symbols as fanciful as Marge Simpson, but no glasses. Do you know of any?

If you are able to use Xe- or LuaLaTeX, you may use the unicode U+1F442 by copy pasting it in your source code or like in my following MWE:
% arara: lualatex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\begin{document}
\setmainfont{quivira.otf}
\symbol{"1F442}
\setmainfont{symbola.ttf}
\symbol{"1F442}
\end{document}
When you have found your symbol, you may define a macro as
\newcommand*{\ear}{{\fontspec{the_font}\symbol{"1F442}}}
For PDFLaTeX, you will have to search for other LaTeX-symbols in the common way. But I was not lucky here. If you try to add an image, you may look on posts like this.
If my solution works for you, you may possibly want to redefine the eye symbol as well in order to visually fit. This would look like the following:
% arara: lualatex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\newcommand*{\ear}{{\fontspec{symbola.ttf}\symbol{"1F442}}}
\newcommand*{\eye}{{\fontspec{symbola.ttf}\symbol{"1F441}}}
\begin{document}
\section{Do}
\eye \hspace{1cm} do
\noindent\ear
\end{document}
Based on @HarishKumar comment here goes the solution
Define the following commands before \begin{document}, i.e.
for a 卍 gammadion
\newcommand{\agni}[1]{%
\begin{tikzpicture}[#1]
\draw (-1,1) -- (0,1) -- (0,-1) -- (1,-1);
\draw (-1,-1) -- (-1,0) -- (1,0) -- (1,1);
\end{tikzpicture}%
}
and for a 卐 gammadion
\newcommand{\fash}[1]{%
\begin{tikzpicture}[#1]
\draw (-1,1) -- (-1,0) -- (1,0) -- (1,-1);
\draw (-1,-1) -- (0,-1) -- (0,1) -- (1,1);
\end{tikzpicture}%
}
To insert symbols in text just use \agni{scale=0.2} or \fash{scale=0.2} respectively.
