U+260D "☍" Opposition Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
☍
U+260D "☍" Opposition is a typographic symbol that represents the astrological concept of opposition, where two celestial bodies are positioned directly across from each other in the sky, typically 180 degrees apart, creating a dynamic or tense relationship in chart interpretation. Found in the Miscellaneous Symbols block, this glyph consists of two curved lines or arcs that mirror each other, suggesting a visual balance or confrontation, much like a pair of facing crescents. It is distinct from the similar symbol for conjunction and is used in astrological texts, software, and diagrams to denote challenging or polarizing aspects, emphasizing the interplay of opposing forces.
