| - | The [[circle-A]] is almost certainly the best-known present-day symbol for anarchy. It is a [[monogram]] that consists of the capital letter "[[A]]" surrounded by the capital letter "[[O]]". The letter "A" is derived from the first letter of "anarchy" or "anarchism" in most European languages and is the same in both [[Latin script|Latin]] and [[Cyrillic script]]s. The "O" stands for order and together they stand for "society seeks order in anarchy" ("la société cherche l'ordre dans l'anarchie"), a phrase written by [[Pierre-Joseph Proudhon]] in his 1840 book ''[[What Is Property?]]''. | + | The '''Cyrillic script''' is a [[writing system]] used for various alphabets across [[Eurasia]], particularly in [[Eastern Europe]], the [[Caucasus]], [[Central Asia]], and [[North Asia]].

| - | The circle-A long predates the [[anarcho-punk]] movement, which was part of the [[punk rock]] movement of the late 1970s. However, the punk movement helped spread the circle-A symbol more widely and helped raise awareness of it among non-anarchists. This process began with the use of anarchist imagery when members of the band [[Crass]] became aware of the symbol while traveling through France. | + | *[[Cyrillic (Unicode block)]] |
