U+2BC9 "⯉" Neptune Form Two Unicode Character

U+2BC9 "⯉" Neptune Form Two is an astronomical symbol representing the planet Neptune, specifically an alternate glyph distinct from the more common trident-based symbol (♆). This particular form features a stylized "N" followed by a superscript or attached number 2, and it was historically used in some 20th century ephemerides and astrological contexts to denote the planet before the standardized trident symbol became widely adopted. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for digital representation of historical astronomical texts and documents where this alternate Neptune symbol was employed.
