☬ U+262C, ☬ ADI SHAKTI ← ☫ [U+262B] Miscellaneous Symbols ☭ → [U+262D]

Etymology

Borrowed from Punjabi ਖੰਡਾ (khaṇḍā), from Sanskrit खड्ग (khaḍga).

Noun

khanda (plural khandas)

1. (India) A double-edged sword from India, used ceremonially in Sikhism.
2. (India) A religious symbol of Sikhism, ⟨☬⟩, having the shape of three swords: a khanda, a chakram and two kirpans.

Notes

The name of the Unicode character for the khanda, ⟨☬⟩, is Adi Shakti, which is a misnomer: Adi Shakti is the Goddess in the Shakti sect of Hinduism.
