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 and Cyrillic scripts. The "O" stands for order. Together they stand for "Anarchy is Order," the first part of a Proudhon quote.
The "A" does not stand for anarchy. It stands for Autonomous - self-governance, not subject to control from the outside. The A/O, then, stands for Autonomous Order, which is Anarchism.
It is often used as a symbol for Voluntaryism, a political ideology that holds that all human interaction should be voluntary, and calls for the end of the state. In a sense, all Voluntaryists are Anarchists at least to the extent that they reject coercive government as immoral and illegitimate, and call for a stateless society, but Anarchists are not all necessarily Voluntaryists. Because of the recognition of the anarchy 'A', the similarity to the letter 'V' when the anarchy 'A' is flipped upside down, and the shared goal of a stateless society between the two related ideologies, Voluntaryists have adapted this as a representative symbol.
The anarchy symbol originated in the 19th century. The Circle A and the Black Flag are the two most common symbols. There has been a revival of sorts since the start of the 21st century due to the anti globalization movement.
It is a capital "A" written in a scratchy type of lettering, with a circle a around it.
