U+2BD5 "⯕" Pluto Form Four Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+2BD5 "⯕" Pluto Form Four is a symbolic representation of the dwarf planet Pluto, specifically one of several proposed astrological or astronomical symbols for celestial bodies. This character depicts a monogram that combines a capital 'P' with the astrological symbol for Pluto (a circle over a crescent), but it also includes a horizontal line or crossbar, distinguishing it as the "Form Four" variant in Unicode's set of Pluto symbols. It was encoded primarily for use in astronomical and astrological contexts where a specific historical or graphical distinction is needed, often representing Pluto in charts or scientific notations where other forms might be confused with similar symbols for other planets or elements. The inclusion of this character in Unicode ensures that digital text can accurately capture these specialized, and sometimes rare, typographic conventions.
