There are swastika-shaped Chinese characters, both "left-turning" (like the Buddhist symbol) and "right-turning" (like the Nazi emblem).

Unicode (hex) 534D (left-turning) 
Unicode (hex) 5350 (right-turning) 
The Chinese pronunciation is "wàn" for both, one being seen as a scribal variant of the other.

Good luck accessing these without a Chinese input editor!
