| Name | Peace symbol | |
| Unicode number | U+262E | |
| Category | Religious and political symbols | |
| Description | The Unicode character ☮, or U+262E, is known as the "Peace Symbol". It belongs to the "Miscellaneous Symbols" block and falls under the "Symbol, Other" category in the Unicode standard. The peace symbol is a circular emblem composed of one straight vertical line set within a circle, with two shorter lines projecting downwards at angles from the bottom of the vertical line. It was originally designed for the British nuclear disarmament movement in the late 1950s and quickly became an international symbol for peace. The symbol was drawn based on the semaphore signals for the letters "N" (nuclear) and "D" (disarmament). |
