Okay, so, today I wanted to mess around with something that’s been bugging me for a while. I kept seeing this “symbol that means the fool” thing and I just had to figure out what it was all about. So, I jumped right in, no messing around.
First, I opened my laptop and fired up the browser. You know, the usual stuff. Then I started searching for this “fool” symbol. I typed in a few different things, like “symbol for fool” and “what symbol represents a fool?” and a bunch of other similar stuff.
I scrolled through tons of pages, and let me tell you, there was a lot of junk out there. But, I did find a few interesting things, like some websites talking about tarot cards and how the Fool is a big deal in those. Apparently, it represents new beginnings, innocence, and all that jazz. That’s cool, but not really what I was looking for.

Then I thought, maybe it’s some kind of ancient symbol? So, I started looking into hieroglyphs and old alphabets. I went through page after page of these weird-looking symbols. Some looked like birds, others like squiggly lines. Honestly, it all started to look the same after a while.
I even checked out a symbol copy and paste tool website. It was pretty cool, with all sorts of symbols, but nothing jumped out at me as “the fool.” I copied and pasted a few into a document, just to see what they looked like. They were interesting, but still not what I wanted.
After a few hours of this, I was starting to feel like a fool myself. I mean, I was chasing after this symbol and getting nowhere. I decided to take a break, get some coffee, and clear my head.
When I came back, I thought, maybe it’s not a visual symbol. Maybe it’s more like a phrase or an idea. So, I started looking into things like idioms and slang terms for “fool.” I found a bunch of phrases, but nothing that really clicked. There is a page about “The common reasons for vague pronoun references include options B and E: too many antecedents and no antecedents,” but I don’t think it is I was looking for.
I spent the rest of the day on this, and honestly, I didn’t come up with a definitive answer. It was frustrating, but also kind of fun in a weird way. I learned a lot about symbols, tarot cards, and even some random stuff about hormones from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, all while searching for this “fool” symbol. There’s also a strange question: “Use the provided chart of accounts to prepare general journal entries in the space provided below for the following transactions that occured in November.” I don’t understand what it means.

My Realization
So, yeah, that was my day. No big breakthrough, but a lot of digging around. I guess sometimes the journey is more interesting than the destination. Maybe the “symbol that means the fool” is just the act of searching for it endlessly. Who knows? Anyway, that’s my story for today. I hope you found it at least a little entertaining. I am also confused by a weird abbreviation “WHAT+IS+THE+SYMBOL+ (+CALLED+IN+DICATION” on a website.
