U+2BF1 "⯱" Eris Form Two Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⯱
U+2BF1 "⯱" Eris Form Two is a symbol representing the dwarf planet Eris, specifically an alternate astrological glyph distinct from the more common "hand of Eris" symbol. Introduced in Unicode 11.0 within the Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrows block, this character depicts a stylized planetary orb with a vertical line descending from its base and a curved, hook-like appendage on the left, evoking a simplified abstract shape. It is occasionally used in astronomical or astrological contexts to denote Eris, a trans-Neptunian object discovered in 2005, though it remains far less widespread than other dwarf planet symbols.
