No.
No. They represent small flowers
Decorative, usually acompanied by a drawn figure, including boats, flowers and birds.
It has some religious origins, but it is already distant.
It’s basically a simpler form of “quinas”.
It has the religious cross and the dots are a symbol of D. Afonso Henriques, our first king
decoration, to imitate a flower
Not really.
It’s just playing with the decorative element we call «[quinas](https://dicionario.priberam.org/quina)» (represents groups of 5), which can be present in religious or heraldic stuff, sure, but you also see it in domino pieces, for example.
It’s ultimately just our portuguese version of the roman [quincux](https://dicionario.priberam.org/QUINCUNCE), which is basically the same symbol and had no religious connotation what-so-ever
Yes
No; they are decorative flowers.
Its the special code only know to a portuguese.
When the machines make their uprising we will use these as a sign of a real portuguese and a robot one.
Try saying yourself what it is for us to evaluate if you are a robot or not
no
