Microsoft has taken histories most offending symbol, to sane people at least, off its font group with a new critical update:

Microsoft today released a critical update to remove "unacceptable symbols" from Bookshelf Symbol 7 font.

Just 58-odd years after the Red Army hoisted its standard on the roof of the Reichstag on 30 April 1945, effectively ending the European war, MS has finally flushed the swastika from its last hiding place - an otherwise innocent font shipped with Office 2003.

This has hardly been a Blitzkrieg on Microsoft's part. The company has been aware of the presence of the Mark of the Beast since December. At the time it promised an immediate utility to remove the characters. It also passed the buck onto the hapless Japanese (from whose happy land the font apparently originated), and launched a damage-prevention campaign by contacting Jewish organisations before the whole thing got out of hand.

Of course they also removed the worlds most offensive symbol to the insane and idiot types, the Star of David.
