Who invented the peace symbol?

The peace symbol was created in 1958 as a nuclear disarmament symbol by the Direct Action Committee.

It was first shown that year at peace marches in England.

The forked symbol is actually a composite of the semaphore signals N and D, representing nuclear disarmament.
