U+260C "☌" Conjunction Unicode Character

U+260C "☌" Conjunction is a typographic symbol that represents the astronomical and astrological concept of a conjunction, which occurs when two celestial bodies, such as planets, appear close together in the sky from the perspective of Earth. Often depicted as a simple, stylized cross or a small circle with a line beneath it, this glyph is visually distinct from other planetary symbols and is commonly used in horoscopes, ephemerides, and diagrams of celestial events. Its inclusion in the Miscellaneous Symbols block of Unicode allows for consistent representation in digital text, preserving a centuries old tradition of marking significant alignments in the heavens.
