Perhaps you mean the pentacle and the triquetra?

These both symbolize many different things for many different people, but the most commonly accepted representations are as follows:

The pentacle (a five-pointed star within a circle) symbolizes the five spiritual elements: earth, air, fire, water and spirit itself. Starting at the top point and going clockwise, the different points represent: Spirit, Water, Fire, Earth, and Air. The pentacle represents the unity between these elements, and their relationships to each other. Clockwise, the elements are constructive to each other, and counter-clockwise, the elements are destructive. They also connect in unique ways by means of the lines that make each point (water and earth, air and fire, etc.).

The triquetra (three interlocked yoni) symbolizes trinity. The most common trinity acknowledged by the triquetra is the Triple Goddess. The Triple Goddess has three forms: Maiden, Mother, and Crone. The Maiden embodies the feminine aspects of virginity, innocence and virility. The Mother embodies the feminine aspects of motherly love and nurturing, sexuality and fertility. The Crone embodies the feminine aspects of wisdom, experience, and maturity. The three of them combined in the continuous emblem symbolizes the cycle of birth, life, death, and rebirth.

are you asking Penticle?

the 5 pointed star within the circle.

the 4 lower points symbolise the 4 elements.
the top point symbolises the spirit.

The triquetra is found in a variety of art from the early manuscript period, most notably in illustrated manuscripts like the Book of Kells. While it is uncertain what the symbol may have meant to the Celts, it is often found as a design element in larger drawings of triskeles or triple spirals.

Celtic Reconstructionist Pagans use the triquetra either to represent one of the various triplicities in their cosmology and theology (such as the tripartite division of the world into the realms of Land, Sea and Sky), or as a symbol of one of the specific triple Goddesses, most notably the Morrígan
