Artemis is typically shown with a bow and arrow (representing the rays of the moon). Artemis was often shown being followed by a fox, stag, leopard, or lion (sometimes both a stag and leopard or both a leopard and a lion).

Most often she is represented by the Crescent Moon (Waxing) which is the one shaped like ")".
She is also represented by the Bow, usually drawn so the curve is in the same direction as the Waxing Moon Crescent.
Additionally she is usually depicted with a deer and dogs.
She has other symbols, but these are her strongest ones.
