Anchor

Description

In pop culture, it can evoke nautical adventures or symbolize being grounded amidst chaos. Interestingly, sailors traditionally believed that an anchor could ward off storms, adding a layer of cultural significance to this sturdy symbol. The emoji version is 0.6, released in 2015.
