The purpose of this paper is to examine the extent to which a homomorphism of a ring with involution is determined by its action on the symmetric elements of the ring. Assuming that the ring is "suitably free" of 2 × 2 matrix rings, we show that any homomorphism is uniquely determined if its image is semi-prime without nonzero central ideals. To obtain this result we first investigate automorphisms of quotients of rings with involution.
