Did you know that everyday symbols like the ampersand and the yin-yang have fascinating histories? The ampersand (&) actually started as a stylish way to write "et," which means "and" in Latin. The yin-yang symbol, on the other hand, comes from ancient philosophy and represents how opposite forces are interconnected and balance each other out. These and other common symbols are more than just everyday marks; they carry stories and meanings from different cultures and times! Credit: Cyrenecoin: By T. V. Buttrey, K.
