Place Of Interest Sign Symbol Meaning
The symbol ⌘ (Unicode name: “PLACE OF INTEREST SIGN”, code point U+2318) is a map-related sign meant to draw attention to a specific place. In practice, it often functions as a compact visual marker for “interesting location,” “highlighted spot,” or “point of interest” in user interfaces, directions, and annotated maps. Because it’s distinctive and small, designers also use it as a minimalist icon-like character in text—such as labels, tooltips, and headings—where an actual map pin or location icon would be too large.
