U+26E4 "⛤" Pentagram Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+26E4 "⛤" Pentagram is a five pointed star, known as a pentagram, that is depicted in a single continuous line with one point typically oriented upward, and it is encoded in the Miscellaneous Symbols block. This symbol carries deep historical and cultural significance, appearing in ancient Greek, Babylonian, and Egyptian contexts as a representation of the five classical elements or the cycle of life. In modern times, it is most often associated with Western occult traditions, Wicca, and neopaganism, where it commonly symbolizes protection, spiritual balance, and the interconnection of mind, body, spirit, and nature. Its inclusion in Unicode reflects its widespread use in both religious and popular culture, though it can also be misinterpreted or conflated with inverted pentagrams linked to different symbolic meanings.
