infinity symbol

Sideways figure eight

The infinity symbol (∞) represents endlessness or unboundedness.

In mathematics, it denotes a quantity without limit.

The figure-eight shape lying on its side appears in calculus, set theory, and physics.

Outside technical contexts, the symbol suggests eternal love, limitless possibility, or spiritual continuity—popular in jewelry and tattoos: She wore an infinity symbol necklace.
