  There are swastikas facing both directions as religious symbols, but not angled Hakenkreuz like the Nazis tended to use. There also isn't a fasces or anything like that, although I feel like that's a less widely recognized symbol (and of course it is used in non-fascist contexts as well). Probably the most interesting political symbol in Unicode is the Emblem of Iran: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emblem_of_Iran https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emblem_of_Iran It's referred to officially as "FARSI SYMBOL", which apparently was a euphemism chosen because during ISO standardization of Unicode the original name "SYMBOL OF IRAN" was deemed unacceptable. As a logo, it wouldn't make it into the standard today, but nobody knows how it originally got in there: http://archives.miloush.net/michkap/archive/2005/01/29/363208.html http://archives.miloush.net/michkap/archive/2005/01/29/36320...

    The Celtic cross is also there, tho tipically represented as asymmetrical, while the one used in fascist context is symmetrical.

  W: "The Italian term fascismo is derived from fascio meaning "a bundle of sticks", ultimately from the Latin word fasces. The symbolism of the fasces suggested strength through unity: a single rod is easily broken, while the bundle is difficult to break." So just look for a farming-related item with 2 or more stick-like objects bound together. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism
