The Cross of Jerusalem symbol (☩) features a large cross potent surrounded by four smaller Greek crosses. Originating as a heraldic emblem in the 11th century, it traditionally symbolizes the five wounds of Christ or the spread of the gospel to the four corners of the earth. In modern digital text, it appears in discussions of Christian history, religious documentation, and occasionally as a distinct typographic ornament.
