I was wondering what could Alucard's hand symbol mean.

I spent the whole day searching for it, but nothing. I need full information
about this.

What does Alucard's hand symbol mean?


You got 2 pentagrams in the center, symbolising most probably his duality,
since he is evil but hunts evil beings.

Near the triangles, you see 5 symbols, which represent in one way or another
the pentagram. The "PSI" sign can be linked to the spirit, psychē (meaning
“breath, the principle of life, life, soul,”. As a deduction, the rest are
also symbols of the elements.

In the inner circle, you see Hellsing, the name of the organisation, and since
he is part of it, it has blesses and values "Gott mitt uns" (God with us), and
"Shine heaven now" (their "value").

Outer circles are some runes I have no idea about, and below, it is 812, which
I think it's the Gematria code, in which 812 can be calculated from: (commit
to the antichrist, I am archangel Azrael, satanist pastor, narcissistic
beasts, etc.)

Above the number, it can be the layers of the organisation. In old times, they
had to stack signs to explain a person's worth (we still have them in police
or military).

Everything is just a personal opinion and might be false. Take it with a grain
of salt :)

Two of the five symbols in the center are alchemist symbols. I`m able to
recognize symbols for Uranus and Neptune (Neptunus). The other symbols come
from the Japanese (katakana, hiragana, or kanji), or the Chinese alphabet, but
the meaning of those symbols exceeds my knowledge, and maybe they are modified
to some extent.

Translated runes from Thebean script (alphabet), after some corrections should
go like this:

So, most of what everyone here is saying is more or less accurate.

One layer of complexity I’ve found regarding this symbol is how closely it
resembles the seals of Goetia from the lesser key of Solomon; dark age
alchemical efforts to conjure and bind demons to serve.

This ties pretty closely with Alucard's backstory and in the OVA. There’s a
flashback in the OVA where the seal of Solomon is literally seen sitting on
Papa Hellsing’s desk also, which lends a lot of credence to the theory that
Alucard was bound to the service of the family through the use of Goetia.

All told, it’s a pretty funky little bit of history to bring up at parties.

If you add up the numbers on the glove, it is 832, which is an angel number,
love, twin flame, and many other meanings.
