θ

or Ψ, come to think of it.

and on further reflection, I'd vote for ψ because it has two distinctive characteristics.......

but so does θ.

To be quite fair Alan was the first to suggest "theta" although he subsequently demurred.

θ has two planes and one axis of symmetry, which immediately made it unique.

But only a bit unique because χ has an axis of symmetry

But ψ has one plane of symmetry AND you can eat your dinner with it, which makes it the only shape with a practical value.
