U+26E5 "⛥" Right-Handed Interlaced Pentagram Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⛥
U+26E5 "⛥" Right-Handed Interlaced Pentagram is a symbol depicting a five-pointed star with interlacing lines, specifically oriented with a single point facing upward and two points directed downward, which distinguishes it from the more common upright pentagram. It is encoded in the Miscellaneous Symbols block of the Unicode Standard, often associated with modern pagan and Wiccan traditions, where it represents protection, the four classical elements, and the spirit, though its exact meaning can vary by cultural or religious context. The symbol's right-handed designation refers to the direction of its interlacing, a detail that influences its magical or symbolic interpretation within esoteric practices.
