We propose the symbol ⁂ to represent the fediverse.

⁂ is a typographical character, not an icon that needs to be inserted as an image. Unique-looking, but standardised. This means it’s very easy to copy-paste around! Its design style also automatically adapts to the font used where you insert it.

⁂ is called an asterism. In astronomy, it refers to groups of stars in the sky, akin to constellations. We suggest that it’s a very fitting symbol for the fediverse, a galaxy of interconnected spaces which is decentralised and has an astronomically-themed name. It represents several stars coming together, connecting but each their own, without a centre.

⁂ is standardised as Unicode U+2042, making it ready to copy and insert anywhere.

There is also a downloadable graphics pack.

Over one million (and counting) royalty-free icons for just about any project. Searchable. Not just emoji, logos, symbols, and universal glyphs are part of this archive. Download what you need. Customizable. Even has an API so it can be used in interactives.

This symbolism dictionary endeavors to provide some possible cultural significances of various symbols, and suggest ways in which those symbols may have been used in context. Most symbols are not code signals, like traffic lights, where red means stop and green means go, but part of a complex language in which green can mean jealousy or fertility or even both, depending on context. It is up to each of us to explore works of art sensitively, and decide for ourselves how the symbols in each work function. This website is offered as an aid in that enriching activity.

Just what it says on the tin.
