Unicode Version 17.0
⯤
U+2BE4 "⯤" Apollon is a typographic symbol representing the astrological asteroid and god Apollo, derived from a combination of a circle with a central dot (a common solar symbol) and a crescent-like appendage, intended to visually reference the sun god's lyre or solar rays. This character falls under the Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrows block and serves as a niche glyph for astrological charts or esoteric texts, where it denotes the celestial body Apollon (specifically asteroid 1862 Apollo). Its inclusion in the Unicode standard allows for consistent digital representation of this specialized symbol across platforms, preserving a link to classical mythology and modern astrological practice.
