An ancient Egyptian symbol shaped like a cross with a rounded loop at the top, representing life, immortality, and spiritual energy.
From Egyptian "ˁnḫ," the native Egyptian word meaning life itself. The symbol appears throughout Egyptian art and was adopted into Coptic Christianity and modern spiritual practices.
The ankh is basically the ancient Egyptian emoji—it was used the same way we use ♥ today, as a universal shorthand for a complex idea that everyone immediately understood across their entire civilization.
