What does the peace symbols stand for?

The peace symbol, originally designed for the British nuclear disarmament movement in the late 1950s, combines the semaphore signals for the letters "N" and "D," representing "nuclear disarmament." Over time, it has evolved to represent broader concepts of peace, non-violence, and anti-war sentiments. It has become an iconic emblem used in various social movements advocating for harmony and the end of conflict. The symbol continues to embody a universal desire for a world free from violence and war.
