U+2646 "♆" Neptune Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
♆
U+2646 "♆" Neptune is a typographic symbol representing the planet Neptune in astronomy, as well as the trident of the sea god Neptune in classical mythology, from whom the planet takes its name. This glyph is derived from the traditional astronomical symbol for Neptune, which combines a cross (often associated with the Earth or matter) with a trident prong, and it is commonly used in astrological contexts to denote the planet's influence. While its primary modern use is in planetary charts and space-related iconography, the character also appears in historical and esoteric texts to signify the Roman god of the sea.
