U+262E "☮" Peace Symbol Unicode Character

U+262E "☮" Peace Symbol is a globally recognized icon representing peace, harmony, and nonviolence, originally designed in 1958 by British artist Gerald Holtom for the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. The symbol combines the semaphore signals for the letters N and D, standing for Nuclear Disarmament, with its circular shape and downward extending lines evoking a stylized human figure in despair. Over time, it was adopted by the broader peace movement, counterculture of the 1960s, and various social justice causes, becoming one of the most enduring and ubiquitous symbols in modern history despite occasional controversies about its origins.
