U+1F717 "🜗" Alchemical Symbol for Vitriol-2 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1F717 "🜗" Alchemical Symbol for Vitriol-2 is a graphic element from the Alchemical Symbols block, specifically representing a variant of the symbol for vitriol, a term historically used for sulfuric acid or sulfate minerals. In alchemical tradition, vitriol was associated with purification, transformation, and the core principle of the "philosopher's stone," often linked to the motto "Visita Interiora Terrae Rectificando Invenies Occultum Lapidem" (Visit the interior of the earth and by rectifying you will find the hidden stone). This particular symbol, noted as a second form or type, was employed in medieval and early modern manuscripts to denote the substance or its esoteric properties, and today it serves as a digital representation of that historical and mystical significance within the composed text of Unicode.
