The Atom Symbol (⚛) depicts a classic Bohr model of an atom, featuring a central nucleus surrounded by three elliptical electron orbits. Originally added to Unicode to represent nuclear power, physics, and general science, it is also widely recognized as an official emblem of atheism and secularism. In digital spaces, people frequently use it to discuss scientific topics, clean energy, or even as a nod to the React JavaScript library, which uses a nearly identical logo.
