Unknown Symbol on an Atomic Bomb

Upvote:4

The bomb depicted is of the "Little Boy" type, not the "Fat Man" type. (Note the elongated form -- "Fat Man" was more rounded.) So we're looking at the Hiroshima bomb, not the Nagasaki one. (Quite a slipup by the movie producers...)

This is a picture of "Little Boy" directly prior to being loaded into Enola Gay. There are no such markings on the bomb, indeed there are various differences (external fastenings, cables, bolts etc.) between what was loaded into Enola Gay and what is pictured in the question.

So, while the symbol might have a meaning somewhere, it has none with regards to "Little Boy", because it was not on "Little Boy".
