Unalome is a Buddhist term.
Quote
It represents the journey to enlightenment in the Buddhist context or the journey to finding one's true self in Hinduism. The symbol typically features a spiral or a series of spirals that lead to a straight line or lines, often ending with a dot or a lotus flower.
The spiral in the Unalome symbolizes the twists and turns of life, while the straight line represents enlightenment or the ultimate goal. The dot or the lotus flower at the end symbolizes the moment of enlightenment or the realization of one's true self.
Does this fit the context you've heard it in?
