e.g. ○ is a shirushi, 🌈 is a symbol (shouchou) for peace, right?

しるし＝印/標 is a sign or mark that you write or engrave lest you should forget or mix with something else.
しょうちょう＝象徴 is a symbol that represents something abstract or evokes something related to it in your mind.

@Crocuta As oditive says, yes. Simple signs like 〇 and ✔ are しるし. Then, more complicated ones, like 🌈, are しょうちょう.
For example, Article 1 of Japanese constitution defines the Emperor 天皇 as the symbol of the State and of the unity of the People, then the symbol is translated in Japanese as 象徴 shouchou.
