What ⯔ means
It marks Pluto in astrology charts and listings. This Pluto glyph is associated mainly with French-, Spanish-, and Italian-speaking astrologers; a related German-speaking variant is also documented.
Astrologers use planetary glyphs as labels in chart wheels, position tables, aspect lists, and written commentary. The regional design changes; the planet it names does not.
Why are there several Pluto glyphs?
Astrologers never settled on one shared Pluto mark. When Pluto was discovered in 1930, astronomers adopted ♇, while some astrologers did not accept it. With no central standards body for astrology, alternative forms developed independently and became associated with different regions and schools.
Can ⯔ appear in a document?
Yes, astrology software uses planetary glyphs in text and tables too. Programs can include Pluto in position, aspect, and midpoint listings, and astrologers also use glyphs in written commentary.
Some astrology programs rely on custom fonts. If a document does not embed that font and the reader's device lacks it, the intended symbol may appear blank or change.
Specialist astrological notation; regional glyphs vary while the planet stays Pluto.
A different Pluto glyph usually marks a chart convention, not a different planet.
