What 🝻 means
It labels the dwarf planet Haumea in astrology and astronomy. Haumea is named for a Hawaiian goddess associated with fertility and childbirth. The chart or reference context shows whether the glyph is being used astrologically or astronomically.
Unicode stores it in its “Alchemical Symbols” block, but that label alone cannot tell you the glyph's history.
What is the history of the Haumea glyph?
It is a modern design inspired by Hawaiian rock carvings. A petroglyph is a picture carved into rock; a 2021 Unicode proposal credits Denis Moskowitz with combining Hawaiian petroglyph ideas for woman and childbirth.
The proposal places 🝻 in a set with symbols for four other dwarf planets: 🝼 Makemake, 🝽 Gonggong, 🝾 Quaoar, and 🝿 Orcus.

Can I use Haumea's glyph in scientific writing?
Yes, if you define it first. NASA's 2018 summary of IAU style guidance says the IAU discourages special planetary symbols in scientific publications.
