2d axis is not shown

Hello, so this might seem a stupid question but I am new to unity and I would be grateful to get some help: When I switch to 2d I do not see the X Y axis, and it is kind of hard to work without them. Instead of the axis I see a circle around the object. Is there a way to enable the axis? Thank you.

Select the Gameobject and Press the “W” key to switch into axis mode . For more details about shortcut check this link Unity - Manual: Unity shortcuts
