Symbol refers to the same memory location where string
generates a new id every time for eg.
STRING
irb(main):019:0> "ruby".object_id
=> 24095860
irb(main):020:0> "ruby".object_id
=> 24092310
irb(main):021:0> "ruby".object_id
=> 24088760
irb(main):022:0>
SYMBOL
irb(main):022:0> :ruby.object_id
=> 102978
irb(main):023:0> :ruby.object_id
=> 102978
irb(main):024:0> :ruby.object_id
=> 102978
irb(main):025:0> :ruby.object_id
=> 102978
irb(main):026:0>

Rails makes extensive use of symbols. A symbol looks like a
variable symbols name, but it’s prefixed with a colon.
Examples of symbols include :action,:line_items, and :id.
Rails uses symbols to identify things. In particular, it
uses them as keys when naming method parameters and looking
things up in hashes. For example:
redirect_to :action => "edit", :id => params[:id]
