So, a Coptic cross is a special kind of cross that is used by a group of people called Coptic Christians.
Now, a cross is usually a symbol of Christianity. It reminds people of Jesus Christ, who is an important person in the Christian religion. But a Coptic cross looks a little different than a regular cross.
A Coptic cross has four arms that are all the same length. This makes the cross look like it's made up of two squares. The top square is meant to represent heaven, while the bottom square represents earth.
There is also an extra line on the bottom of the Coptic cross that sort of looks like a bent tail. This line is called the "ankh" which means "life" in an ancient Egyptian language. The Coptic Christians added this symbol to their cross when they were being persecuted a long time ago.
So when people see a Coptic cross, they know it is a special symbol that reminds the Coptic Christians of their faith and the challenges they have faced in the past.
