Thanks. Some American guys on a Chinese forum kept insisting that I was confused and the '` are flipped vertically, so maybe they are historical variants of each other or something.

My in-laws are from Taiwan and one is a former government official. Maybe they will know.

Peace, and back to your regularly scheduled Japanese help!

Edit: They are the same character. I found a dictionary online that does have the character, and it interchangeably uses the two. It's just a font difference.
