I don't know what is the typeface of the swastika included in Microsoft's "Bookshelf Symbol 7" font, but there is a difference between swastika used by Nazi and swastika, or "Manji" in Japanese, of Kanji character set. Those two are mirror images each other, and more precisely, with 45-degree turn. "Manji" is the authorised symbol for buddhist temple which you can easily find on Japanese maps.
