It is also a Japanese word meaning "final." In this instance it means "final release."
If someone whose knowlege of the language exceeds my own sees the need to expand upon this explanation, please feel free.
As for the kanji, while it is a swastika, it doesn't have the same meaning in this usage as it does in Budhist usage, though when it isn't being a kanji, it does have a similar meaning. This symbol actually exists in nearly every culture from Native American to Japanese, so don't be surprised to see it pop up in strange places.
