U+2BD6 "⯖" Pluto Form Five Unicode Character

U+2BD6 "⯖" Pluto Form Five is a symbol from the Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrows block, officially encoded for representing the dwarf planet Pluto in a specific astrological context. It depicts a horizontal line over a semicircle, which is one of several graphic variants used by different astrological traditions to denote Pluto, distinct from the more common Pluto glyph that combines a circle and a crescent. This particular form, known as "Pluto Form Five," is included in Unicode to support historical and specialized astrological notation, allowing for consistent digital representation of this variant symbol in texts and applications that require precise astronomical or astrological references. Its usage remains niche, primarily within astrological charts and discussions that differentiate between various Pluto symbols.
