Interpretation patch made by a friend, is this an actual symbol or no?
i got this from a friend at a rave, when i asked what it was he told me that he thinks it might be alchemical symbol for lead, but also that he was pretty high when he made it so he wasn’t totally sure what it was, lol. i just did some googling and i don’t think that’s what it is, unless there’s some obscure version out there i missed. honestly i don’t even mind not knowing what it is definitively (since there’s a decent chance he just made it up) but i would definitely like to make sure it isn’t reminiscent of any kind of hate symbol before i put it on something. thanks in advance!

One of my students said they’d been seeing this symbol a lot and asked me for help finding out what it is, they’re pretty concerned and I’d like to know if it’s actually something to be worried about or if I can tell them it’s just a random design

Identification Can anyone help identify this symbol on the wrist of Ulysses Klaue?
As the title says, I'm truly scratching my head here. I don't know if maybe there's a better angle of it, or if maybe I've drawn it incorrectly, but this is my best approximation of what's on his wrist.
The closest I can find to this as a symbol are the Cross Pommée, Mo No Yo, and the Tabono, but none of them fit this exactly. Searching up the symbol I drew in like, Google Lens gives me absolutely nothing. I just don't know.
I tried searching the main indexes for African Symbols and German ones, as Ulysses Klaue was born in the Netherlands but got his start in South Africa. He has a Belgian, South African and Dutch citizenship respectively, and he is somewhat related to HYDRA in the MCU but never actively shown being a Nazi. It seems like they shyed away from making him one by Black Panther because he was the comic relief character, and they didn't want to make their comic relief super openly a Nazi.
I had thought that it probably WAS a Nazi thing, originally, but I couldn't find any Nazi symbols close enough to that exactly, with the most obvious being Crusader Crosses & Variants, but again, that just led me to the Cross Pommée which was not correct.
So, I have no idea what it is. Is this some common symbol in accessories that I'm oblivious to? Is it possible that I'm misreading some kind of buckle as a symbol?
BONUS NOTE: I keep wondering if maybe it has something to do with sexuality, because in both movies Klaue appears in, he's always wearing at least one leather strap on his RIGHT wrist which means Bottom in BDSM/gay culture. Klaue is supposed to be super into music in the MCU, so personally I like to think he saw other people wearing it while out clubbing and probably doesn't know what it means but thinks it looks cool since he's also got pierced ears. Of course if he was actually gay, that would be awesome but he is also literally HYDRA-adjacent which is... Hmm.... Inclusive, yaaay.... Plus, he's in a Disney movie, technically, which is kind of not great for that kinda thing lol. But har-har, you get the point.
Help me out if you can or tell me how I'm dumb/wrong!!! Either will probably help. :-) I just want an answer tbh

I took this picture maybe a year or two ago. I lived alone at the time and just got out of the shower and saw this symbol on my back. Anyone know anything about it? I cropped most of the pic but just know it’s the only thing on my back and I didn’t put it there myself.

Interpretation Pendant that says "In The Midst Of" with Phi-like symbol on front - purchased around 2001 in NYC
Good morning.
My mom passed away suddenly/unexpectedly on Friday, and upon her passing we removed this necklace from her body which she wore daily.
From what I understood, she purchased this necklace at Agnes B. (I believe) in New York City around August/September of 2001. The back of the pendant says "In The Midst Of", as I was an unexpected pregnancy and the necklace represented to her how good things come in the midst of life no matter what.
I am an engineer, so my first interpretation was that it is the Greek symbol Phi. However, I was wondering if the symbol on the front had any relationship to the writing on the back, or perhaps the brand? It feels like the writing on the front and the back should be related, but I cannot find a connection.
I attempted to find similar necklaces/pendants online via Google Lens, but had no luck. Could anyone provide any more context to the symbol?

Identification Open infinity symbol on candle holders from flea market
I picked up these two candle holders at a flea market in France, and only noticed the symbols and text afterwards. There's a sort of open infinity symbol on the base of each candle holder, and the text is:
"mas lejos mas le estrehan"
"de loin comme de pres"
The text is in all caps. I think the candle holders are silver. I'm including a photo of the maker's mark on the base, it seems to say "BG."
