How it's used
Refers specifically to a symbolic figure or object meant to bring good luck or represent an entity. While it is a standard term, it is most frequently heard in the context of sports teams, corporate branding, or large-scale public events. It is rarely used to describe a personal lucky charm, for which people would prefer terms like 護身符.
