Meaning
A circle with a vertical line down the middle and two lines slanting down from its centre, the familiar peace sign. It stands for peace, nonviolence and opposition to war.
Beyond protests and peace messages, it carries a laid-back, retro vibe and works as a friendly sign-off, much like “peace out”: “Exams are over, no more stress ☮️” It pairs with ✌️, 🕊️ or 🌼, and despite sitting in this group it is not tied to any religion.
