U+1F756 "🝖" Alchemical Symbol for Horse Dung Unicode Character

U+1F756 "🝖" Alchemical Symbol for Horse Dung is a rarely used glyph from the Alchemical Symbols block, representing a once significant ingredient in premodern European alchemy. In historical practice, horse dung was valued for its steady, gentle heat when fermented or burned, making it a practical source of warmth for long term chemical processes, particularly in the incubation and digestion of materials within an alchemical egg or alembic. The symbol itself typically appears as a stylized, stacked mound or triple lump shape, and its inclusion in Unicode preserves a fragment of esoteric laboratory terminology and the rich symbolic language of alchemical texts.
