Unicode Version 17.0
🙲
U+1F672 "🙲" Ligature Open Et Ornament is a typographic symbol encoded in the Dingbats block, representing a decorative, stylized ligature of the letters "e" and "t" from the Latin word "et," meaning "and." This ornate glyph is often used in ornamental or artistic contexts, such as calligraphy, historical manuscript reproduction, or decorative design work, to evoke a classic or antique aesthetic. It belongs to a set of ornamental dingbats inspired by traditional printer's ornaments, and its open, flowing form distinguishes it from the more common ampersand (&), offering a more elaborate visual alternative in digital text and graphic design.
