Hi Bianca,
The symbol as Yaaqub pointed out is used in the CoE to symbolize the sacred, it is usually placed on the altar and on any scripture or liturgical books to remind the reader that the item is to be treated with respect.
It's the actual Name of God as found in Exodus 15:2 and elsewhere (like the Psalms.)
