Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+2BE1 "⯡" Hades is a symbol representing the dwarf planet Pluto and is part of a set of astrological and astronomical iconography in the Unicode Standard. This specific glyph depicts the initials of astronomer and symbol designer Kelly K. J. K. (K-K-J-K) or alternately the initials of Pluto discoverer Clyde Tombaugh (C-T), formed into a stylized, pointed shape resembling a celestial body or spearhead. It was added to the Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrows block in Unicode version 5.0 in 2006 to provide a more distinct astrological glyph for Pluto, sometimes called the "Hades" symbol, complementing the earlier standard planetary symbols and reflecting the ongoing evolution of written communication in astronomy and astrology.
