How it works

The Star of David symbol is ✡, U+2721, with its emoji style in row two. The 42 religious symbols here are one form of each sign, sorted by faith under their Unicode names.

Read the full guide

Text style and emoji style

Row two, Star of David, emoji style, carries U+FE0F, the selector that asks for the emoji drawing. ☸, ☪ and ☯ have a row for each style; ✝, ☮, ⛩ and 🕉 have the emoji one. The emoji of temples, prayer beads and praying hands are on the pray emoji page.

Unicode's name is not always the everyday one

☬ is Adi Shakti, though Unicode's own note calls it the khanda, the Sikh symbol. ⛩ is Shinto shrine and shows a torii gate. 🕎 is Menorah with nine branches, the Hanukkah lamp.

Tips

For Buddhism, take ☸ Wheel of Dharma. Its eight spokes stand for the Noble Eightfold Path in the Indo-Tibetan tradition.
The Islam group holds more than ☪: ۞ Rub el Hizb, ﷲ Allah, and ﷽, the whole Basmala as one character.

Questions and answers

Why does ✡ sometimes paste as an emoji?

Unicode gives ✡ the Emoji property without Emoji presentation: text is the default, and the emoji drawing is allowed too. Star of David, text style adds U+FE0E to request plain text. Neither request is binding, since Unicode's emoji report says the style is never guaranteed.

How do I type the Star of David on a keyboard?

No Alt code or key on the U.S. layout gives ✡, and HTML has no name for it. Write the number: ✡ or ✡. ☸ is ☸ and ☪ is ☪. None of the 42 rows has an Alt code or a LaTeX macro.

What does the Star of David mean?

It is a hexagram, two equilateral triangles laid over each other, and its Hebrew name, Magen David, means Shield of David. It became a distinctive Jewish symbol in 17th-century Prague, and the First Zionist Congress chose it for a flag in 1897.

Which Buddhist symbols can I copy besides the wheel?

Five Tibetan signs sit with ☸ in the Buddhism group: ࿄ the hand bell, ࿅ the vajra, ࿇ the double vajra of Bhutan's emblem, and ࿊ and ࿋, the double and triple body symbols. ☸ itself comes in text and emoji style.

Is there a symbol for every religion?

No. Unicode has a character for some faiths and none for others, and this page invents none. 🟙, which Unicode's note ties to the Bahá'í faith, arrived in 2022 and may show as an empty box. 🛐 Place of worship names no faith.

Left out: the svastika characters (U+5350, U+534D and the four Tibetan svasti signs U+0FD5 to U+0FD8, with U+0FCC, which Unicode calls a form of the svasti sign), because much of the world reads that shape as a Nazi emblem and a bare copy list cannot give the context that tells the uses apart; the other crosses, om letters, ankh look-alikes and pentagrams, which have pages of their own; the eight trigrams; the places of worship, the lotus, prayer beads, folded hands, the dove, the hamsa and the atom emoji, which are on the pray emoji page; the nazar amulet, which no source read here ties to a religion; and made rows, since this page shows one form of each sign.
