The National Emblem of Iran (Persian: نشان رسمی, romanized: Nešâne Rasmiye, lit. 'Formal Emblem') since the Iranian Revolution features four curves and a sword, surmounted by a shadda. It is very similar to the Sikh Khanda symbol. The emblem was designed by Hamid Nadimi, and was officially approved by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the first supreme leader of Iran, on 9 May 1980.
The four curves, surmounted by the shadda, are a stylized representation of the word Allah. The five parts of the emblem also symbolize the Principles of the Religion. The shape of the emblem is chosen to resemble a tulip, in memory of the people who died for Iran: it is an ancient belief in Iran, dating back to mythology, that if a young soldier dies patriotically, a red tulip will grow on his grave. In recent years, it has been considered the symbol of martyrdom.
The logo is encoded in Unicode at code point U+262B ☫ FARSI SYMBOL in the Miscellaneous Symbols range.[1] In Unicode 1.0 this symbol was known as "SYMBOL OF IRAN".[2] However, the current name for the character was adopted as part of Unicode's merger with ISO/IEC 10646.[3][4]
It also a part of the flag of Iran, which is the typical rendering of 🇮🇷, the regional indicator symbol for Iran.
