What the religion symbols inventory actually contains
Every figure below is counted from the 55 entries stored for this page rather than estimated. The characters are drawn from Miscellaneous Symbols (35), Dingbats (11) and General Punctuation (2).
| Group | Entries | Examples | Code points | Usual presentation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Emoji or pictograph | 26 | ☯ ☮ ✝ | U+2626–U+2721 | Emoji presentation |
| Letter | 3 | ॐ 卍 卐 | U+0950–U+5350 | Text presentation |
| Symbol | 24 | ☬ ☤ ☥ | U+2624–U+262C | Text presentation |
| Punctuation | 2 | † ‡ | U+2020–U+2021 | Text presentation |
Practical note: Presentation is the typical default. A variation selector, a specific font stack, or an application that overrides emoji rendering can change what you see after pasting.

How religion symbols render across fonts, apps and devices
Miscellaneous Symbols is the main home for these, with 73% of the set. The rest come from Dingbats and General Punctuation. 29 are plain text and follow your font.
The other 26 are emoji. Your phone or computer paints those in colour. Unicode files the emoji ones under Symbols.
Some are as recent as Emoji 1.0, so old devices may draw an empty box.
What travels is the character; what you see is whatever font the destination reaches for. That is why the same religion symbol can look heavier on a phone than in a document.

Religion Symbols questions and answers
What is the difference between Outlined Greek Cross and Outlined Latin Cross?+
Different code points, similar shapes. Outlined Greek Cross sits at U+2719 and Outlined Latin Cross at U+271F, so search, sorting and screen readers treat them as unrelated characters even where they look the same.
What is the HTML code for yin yang?+
☯ is the hexadecimal form and ☯ the decimal one; both render as ☯. On a page that declares UTF-8 you can also just paste the character.
Which religion symbols work as plain text rather than emoji?+
Look for the 29 non-emoji entries. Those behave like letters — style them, colour them, put them in a heading. The 26 emoji entries are drawn by the operating system instead.
Which Unicode block are these religion symbols in?+
Chiefly Miscellaneous Symbols, which accounts for 35; the rest come from Dingbats and General Punctuation. Coverage tends to follow the block: long-established ones render nearly everywhere, recent additions do not.
Will these religion symbols work on older phones?+
The newest entry on this page was introduced in Emoji 1.0. Devices that have not received a font update since then will show a blank rectangle instead. Test on a real older device before using a recent character where the meaning matters.
Which religion symbol should I choose?+
Two look almost the same: <b>Outlined Greek Cross</b> and <b>Outlined Latin Cross</b>. They are different characters: U+2719 and U+271F. Start with <b>emoji or pictograph</b>. It is the biggest group, with <b>26</b>. Save punctuation for when you mean exactly that. Want colour? Pick one of the <b>26</b> emoji. Want it to match your text? Pick one of the <b>29</b> plain ones. Always check it in the place it will appear.
