Adinkra symbols are highly charged with historical and cultural meaning. Originating from the Gyaman people of Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire, the first adinkra symbols were printed on cloth which royals wore to important ceremonies. Through the centuries they have come to symbolize the richness of Akan culture, icons that relate deep African truths in visual form. In the modern era they became important symbols in the political, economic, and cultural liberation of Ghanaian people. Most universities in Ghana use at least one adinkra symbol in their logo, demonstrating the essential role of the symbols in Akan culture. Originating from the Gyaman people of the Ivory Coast and later adopted by the Akan people, adinkra symbols are images originally printed on cloth worn by royals to important occasions.

The mpatapo symbol is translated as the "pacification knot", symbolizing pacification, forgiveness, and reconciliation after conflict. When two enemies agree to make peace, the mpatapo is the bond that obliges them to conduct their reconciliation peacefully. Adinkra symbols are today used extensively in Ghana and beyond to reinforce African cultural values.
