What are the modern Masonic symbols? I mean symbols that are predominantly used in recent years

The library does not provide a contemporary survey of emblem usage in recent years, though it records that the combined Square and Compasses remains the primary badge and token of the Fraternity 2. Historically established symbols within Craft Masonry include the square, rule, plumb-line, perfect ashlar, two pillars, circle within parallel lines, point within a circle, compasses, and the winding staircase 1.

Over time, certain early symbols have fallen out of use; for example, taciturnity—which in eighteenth-century catechisms formed a triad with fraternity and fidelity to represent love, relief, and truth—became obsolete 2.

While appendant bodies and other Masonic systems employ their own distinct emblems, such as the triple tau used in Royal Arch Masonry 2, Craft Masonry retains its foundational symbolic instruction centered on the traditional operative working tools and geometric forms 12. The supplied sources do not extend to empirical data or developments from recent years regarding which traditional symbols are most predominantly displayed today.
