Compare with the definitive origins of the Peace Symbol.

http://www.docspopuli.org/articles/PeaceSymbolArticle.html

How many know that it is stylized representation of the composite semaphore
signs for the letters 'N' and 'D', as in 'Nuclear Disarmament'?  Or that at
one point, the Christian Cross was an option considered?

The symbol is widely recognized among certain cultures or subcultures.  It
is even meaningful to anyone familiar with semaphore.  But for most others,
it is pretty arbitrary.  Nevertheless, it has taken on a life of its own.
