I could care less what the Swastika meant to a church or anyone else before Nazi's. It is now a symbol of hate and anti-semitism that should have no place in this world.

It's a character in some foreign languages. You can type it if you select the right language and type the right character code. I think it's part of some versions the Hindi(?) alphabet, or perhaps as just a religious symbol.

Remember that at the end of WW2 there were probably more people who knew of the swastika only as a religious or language symbol than who had even heard of the Nazis. Most Chinese may have heard of the war with Japan but not Germany. After the British left India a US Army survey of Indian attitudes about the British withdrawal revealed that most Indians were not aware the British had ever arrived (300 years earlier!). And, a friend of mine who grew up in the southwest US remembers coming home from school and telling her parents about WW2 - which they had never heard about - in 1974 or so.
