Best way to concatenate Symbols?

General Usage
1

If I have two symbols:

sym1 = :Hello
sym2 = :World

what is the best way to combine these:

combine(sym1,sym2)

to generate the symbol :HelloWorld?

(In practice I have a macro with some input symbols, and I want to generate new symbols/variables that are a version of these)

(I know there is Symbol(String(:Hello)*String(:World)), however, I am not sure if this is the “best” approach, it feels rather hacky)

Symbol(sym1, sym2), works for any number of arguments. It still goes through strings, there’s no way around that because symbols are just interned strings.
