The Khanda, the central emblem of Sikhism, combining a double-edged sword, a circular chakkar, and two crossed kirpans (ceremonial swords) representing spiritual and temporal authority. Used by Sikh users for religious and cultural identity; it was one of the more recent additions to the religious symbol lineup, added in Unicode 15.0 (2023) after years of advocacy for Sikh representation in emoji.
