The Pisces symbol is โ, two curved arcs facing away from each other, joined by a straight line across the middle. The arcs are two fish swimming in opposite directions, and the line is the cord that ties them together. Pisces is the twelfth and last zodiac sign, called Meen rashi (เคฎเฅเคจ) in India.

Two Fish Tied Together: Reading the โ Glyph
Picture two fish seen from above. One swims left, one swims right. Draw each as a curved arc, then tie them with a cord. That is โ. The two arcs look like brackets ) ( and the bar joins them.
In Greek myth the goddess Aphrodite and her son Eros changed into fish to escape a monster, and tied themselves together with a cord so they would not lose each other in the river. The two fish were later placed among the stars. The constellation itself is faint and shaped like a long V, with a small ring of stars called the Circlet marking one fish.
The Two Fish Symbol in Indian Art
A pair of fish is an old auspicious sign in India. It is one of the eight auspicious symbols (ashtamangala) in both Jain and Buddhist traditions, where it stands for freedom and good fortune. The Pandya kings of the Tamil country used fish on their royal emblem, and Madurai's goddess Meenakshi has a name meaning "fish-eyed". You can see more on the Jain symbol and Buddhism symbol pages.
These are separate traditions from the zodiac, but they explain why the two fish symbol feels familiar to many Indian readers.
