Hindu Symbol List: Symbol of Hinduism with Meanings
When people search for a hindu symbol, they usually mean ॐ (Om). It is the sacred sound chanted at the start of prayers and mantras, and many see it as the main symbol of Hinduism. But Hindu homes and temples use several other signs too.
| Symbol | Name | What it means to devotees | Full page |
|---|---|---|---|
| ॐ 🕉 | Om (Aum) | The sacred sound, said at the start of prayers and meditation | Om symbol |
| 卐 | Swastik (Sathiya) | Well-being and good luck, drawn in kumkum at pujas and on doors | Swastik symbol |
| 🔱 | Trishul | The trident of Lord Shiva | Trishul symbol |
| 🪷 | Lotus (kamal) | Purity; Goddess Lakshmi and Saraswati are shown seated on a lotus | Flower symbols |
| 🙏 | Namaste | Greeting, respect and prayer | Namaste symbol |
For a temple symbol, phones offer 🛕 (Hindu temple emoji) and the general 🛐 (place of worship) sign. Many people write a short line like "ॐ 🙏 🪷" at the top of festival wishes.
Sikh, Jain and Buddhist Symbols
These three traditions began in India, and their symbols appear all around us, from gurdwara flags to the Ashoka Chakra.
| Faith | Symbol | Name and meaning | Full page |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sikhism | ੴ | Ik Onkar, "One Creator", the opening of the Mool Mantar in Guru Granth Sahib | Sikh symbols |
| Sikhism | ☬ | Khanda, seen on the Nishan Sahib flag | Sikh symbols |
| Jainism | 卐 ✋ ☸ | Parts of the Jain Prateek emblem; the full emblem has no single Unicode character | Jain symbol |
| Buddhism | ☸ | Dharmachakra, the wheel of dharma with eight spokes | Buddhism symbol |
Christian, Islamic and Jewish Symbols
| Faith | Symbol | Name and meaning | Full page |
|---|---|---|---|
| Christianity | ✝ ☦ ✠ | Latin cross, Orthodox cross and Maltese cross; the cross recalls the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus | Christian symbol |
| Islam | ☪ | Star and crescent, a widely used cultural symbol rather than a scriptural one | Islam symbol |
| Judaism | ✡ | Star of David (Magen David), two overlapping triangles | On this page |
| Judaism | 🕎 | Menorah with nine branches, lit during Hanukkah | On this page |
The best-known judaism symbol today is ✡, the Star of David. It appears on synagogues and on the flag of Israel. The menorah is older and is also a strong jewish symbol: the nine-branched form 🕎 is the lamp lit over the eight nights of Hanukkah. For a church symbol, use ⛪ (church emoji) or one of the crosses above.
Zoroastrianism Symbol, Taoism and the Atheist Symbol
Zoroastrianism (Parsi faith): the main zoroastrianism symbol is the Faravahar, a winged figure of a man rising from a ring. Many Parsis in India link it with the faith's three principles: good thoughts, good words and good deeds (Humata, Hukhta, Hvarshta). Fire is also central, and Parsi places of worship are called fire temples. There is no Unicode character for the Faravahar, so people use an image, or 🔥 as a simple sign for the sacred fire.
Taoism: ☯ yin yang shows two opposite forces that complete each other. See the yin yang symbol page for its meaning.
Atheism: atheism is not a religion, but some groups use an atheist symbol shaped like an atom model with a letter A in it. It has no standard Unicode character, so there is no official atheist symbol emoji. Some people use ⚛ (the atom symbol) in its place.
All Religion Symbol in One Line
School projects, interfaith events and Independence Day posters often show an all religion symbol in one line, to express respect for every faith. You can copy this ready-made line:
ॐ ☬ ✝ ☪ ✡ ☸ ☯
A shorter "3 religion" line some people use is ॐ ✝ ☪. Keep the same spacing between symbols so none looks bigger or more important. If you want a softer message, add ☮ from the peace symbol page or 🙏 at the end.
How to Type Religious Symbols on Phone, Windows and Mac
None of these religious symbols has a standard Alt code on Windows. Use one of these methods instead:
- Copy and paste: tap the symbol in the grid above, then paste it anywhere.
- Microsoft Word: type the code, then press Alt+X. For example 0950 gives ॐ, 262C gives ☬, 271D gives ✝, 262A gives ☪, 2721 gives ✡ and 2638 gives ☸.
- Windows emoji panel: press Windows+. and search "om", "cross", "star of David" or "wheel of dharma".
- Mac: press Control+Command+Space to open Character Viewer and search by name.
- Android and iPhone: open the emoji keyboard and search "om", "pray", "menorah" or "trident".
For web pages, the info table above gives the HTML code of each symbol, such as ॐ for ॐ.
Using Religious Symbols with Respect
- Each religious symbol belongs to a living community. Use it in the meaning that community gives it.
- Avoid placing sacred symbols in jokes, on footwear-related designs or next to rude words.
- Some symbols look alike but are different: ੴ (Ik Onkar) is not the same as ॐ (Om), and 卐 (swastik) needs a line of context when shared abroad.
- If a symbol shows as an empty box, the device font is missing it. Try a newer phone or the PNG image instead.
For more signs and their meanings, browse symbols and meanings or the nazar symbol page for 🧿 and 🪬.

Frequently asked questions
What is the symbol of Hinduism?
The best-known symbol of Hinduism is ॐ (Om), the sacred sound chanted at the start of prayers. The swastik 卐, the trishul 🔱 and the lotus 🪷 are also common Hindu symbols seen in homes and temples.
What is the symbol of Judaism?
The Star of David ✡ is the most widely recognised symbol of Judaism. The menorah is another important symbol; the nine-branched menorah 🕎 is lit during the festival of Hanukkah.
What is the Parsi religion symbol?
Parsis follow Zoroastrianism, and its best-known symbol is the Faravahar, a winged figure. Fire is also deeply respected in the faith. The Faravahar has no Unicode character, so it can only be shared as an image.
Is there an atheist symbol emoji?
No. The atom-style atheist symbol has no standard Unicode character or emoji. Some people use the atom symbol ⚛ instead, but it is not an official sign.
Why do some religious symbols show as a box?
A box means the font on that device does not include the character. Newer emoji such as 🪯 (Khanda) or 🪷 (lotus) may not show on older phones. Updating the phone, or sharing the PNG image from this page, solves it.
Which symbols can I use for all religions together?
A common line is ॐ ☬ ✝ ☪ ✡ ☸ ☯, with equal spaces between them. It is often used on interfaith posters and school charts to show respect for many faiths.
