⛦
U+26E6 "⛦" Left-Handed Interlaced Pentagram is a symbol encoded in the Miscellaneous Symbols block, depicting a five-pointed star with a continuous interlacing line that forms a central pentagon, where the single point faces to the left. It is often associated with modern pagan and occult traditions, particularly Wicca, where the left-handed orientation can signify a focus on the material world, initiation, or the second degree of advancement, distinct from the upright pentagram's more common protective or spiritual connotations. The interlaced design, known as a unicursal pentagram, emphasizes unity and the infinite cycle, with this specific leftward direction sometimes interpreted as representing the descent of spirit into matter.
