☮️ peace symbol Emoji — Meaning, Copy & Paste

What Does the peace symbol Emoji ☮️ Mean?

A circle with a vertical line and downward-angled lines inside — the iconic peace symbol. Available since Unicode 1.1 / 5.2 (2010), the peace symbol emoji was originally designed in 1958 for the British nuclear disarmament movement and has become the universal symbol for peace, anti-war movements, and hippie culture. People use it in posts about peace, anti-war activism, '60s nostalgia, and chill vibes.

Music festivals, John Lennon references ('imagine all the people ☮️'), and tie-dye fashion content love it. Yoga and meditation communities use it. It's also a favorite ironic tag for 'I'm at peace ☮️' moments of acceptance.

Whether you're advocating for global peace, sharing groovy vibes, or just radiating calm, this little symbol carries decades of activist history. Anti-war protest content, especially around major international conflicts, uses it heavily. It's also a fixture of festival fashion content from Coachella to Burning Man and Glastonbury each summer season.
