In Japanese the symbol is called {{nihongo|"{{lang|ja|[[:wikt:ε#Japanese|ε]]}}"||manji|lead=yes}} or {{nihongo|"{{lang|ja|[[:wikt:εε#Japanese|εε]]}}"||manji}}. The swastika is included in the [[Unicode]] character sets of two languages. In the Chinese block it is U+534D [[:wikt:ε|ε]] (left-facing) and U+5350 for the swastika [[:wikt:ε|ε]] (right-facing);<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U4E00.pdf#page=35&zoom=auto,-76,166 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030916074204/http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U4E00.pdf |archive-date=2003-09-16 |url-status=live |title=CJK Unified Ideographs }} {{small|(4.83 MB)}}, ''The Unicode Standard, Version 4.1''.

In Unicode 5.2, two swastika symbols and two swastikas were added to the [[Tibetan (Unicode block)|Tibetan block]]: swastika {{unichar|0FD5|right-facing svasti sign}}, {{unichar|0FD7|right-facing svasti sign with dots}}, and swastikas {{unichar|0FD6|left-facing svasti sign}}, {{unichar|0FD8|left-facing svasti sign with dots}}.<ref>{{cite web |title=Tibetan |url=https://unicode.org/charts/nameslist/n_0F00.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240730015250/https://unicode.org/favicon.ico |archive-date=30 July 2024 |publisher=[[Unicode Consortium]]}}</ref>
