Ik Onkar1 is often used as a Sikh symbol

Ik Onkar (also ੴ, ਇਕ ਓਅੰਕਾਰ, Ēk Ōaṅkār, Roman transliteration Ik Onkar) means one God and is a central tenet of Sikh religious philosophy.1 It is also a symbol of the unity of God in Sikhism, and is found on all religious scriptures and places such as Gurdwaras.

Ik Onkar is the first phrase in the Mul Mantra meaning "there is only one God".2 It is found in the Gurmukhi language3 and is a combination of two characters: the numeral Ik (one) and the first letter of the word Onkar (God) - which happens to be the first letter of the Gurmukhi script with a specially adapted vowel symbol, and is derived from Sanskrit.
