About this symbol
⚚ is the caduceus, the staff of Hermes, with two snakes and a pair of wings. It is often used as a medical symbol, especially in the United States, after the US Army Medical Corps adopted it in 1902, but the traditional symbol of medicine is the rod of Asclepius ⚕, with a single snake and no wings.
