Anchor symbol meaning
Anchor is a device, normally made of metal, used to connect a vessel to the bed of a body of water to prevent the craft from drifting due to wind or current. Anchor symbol is usually used to denote that the person or an organisation has something to do with the sea, or naval travel. For example, a symbol of US Navy seals is composed of an anchor symbol ⚓, a trident symbol 🔱, a rifle 🔫 and an eagle 🦅. Anchor tattoos are all the rage with sailors. Remember Popeye the Sailor Man character? He had those.
