Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+1F542 "🕂" Cross Pommee is a typographic symbol classified under the Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs block, representing a cross with a pommee or ball terminations at the ends of each arm, a design often associated with heraldry, medieval religious iconography, and ecclesiastical art. This glyph differs from more common Christian crosses by its distinctive rounded or bulbous extremities, which give it a decorative and symbolic quality linked to concepts of faith, blessing, and ecclesiastical authority. While it is not as widely used in modern digital text as other cross variants, it remains available in Unicode for specialized historical, liturgical, or design contexts where a more ornate cross form is needed.
