The Armenian Eternity sign (Armenian: Հավերժության հայկական նշան) is an ancient Armenian national symbol and symbol of Armenians national identity.[1] [2]
Armenian Eternity sign originated from the Swastika and is leaving from one point four or more lines, which are rotated in a clockwise or anti-clockwise around the center. Typically, the Eternity sign has eight such curves, a number which symbolizes revival and recurrence. This formal description only simple geometric representation, and in fact a sign of being implemented in a wide variety of two-and three-dimensional forms. The direction of rotation gives the active or passive meanings of Eternity sign, as in the case of Svasti (Su asti) sign (࿕ ࿖) used in Hinduism and Buddhism (Swastika - 卍 卐 ). For example, the cradle or cot for baby boys can be decorated with the right rotated Eternity signs, and for baby girls - left rotated Eternity signs.
The Eternity sign can be found everywhere in Armenian architecture; on doors, windows, walls, and so on. The sign was carved on numerous Khachkars (Cross-stones), Armenian Churches walls, and meets in Armenian manuscripts. In Armenia, everywhere, on any subject and in a very unexpected places can meets Eternity signs.[3]
In ArmSCII - Armenian Standard Code for Information Interchange, an Armenian Eternity sign has been encoded in 7-bit and 8-bit standard and ad-hoc encodings since at least 1987.[4] In 2010 Armenian National Institute of Standards suggest UNICODE Consortium encoding an Armenian Eternity sign [1] and in 2012 UNICODE encode left-face ֎ and right-face ֍ Armenian Eternity signs in Armenian block U+0530-058F,[5][6]
