Zodiac Symbols
The twelve astrological signs plus planetary glyphs.
Where these characters come from
The twelve zodiac signs and the planetary glyphs were encoded together because they share a history in astronomical and astrological notation, where they served as compact shorthand in tables and charts.
How reliably they render
Good support across modern systems. On some platforms certain signs render as colour emoji rather than monochrome glyphs, which changes how they sit alongside text.
Questions
Why do some zodiac signs appear as emoji?
Twelve of them have emoji presentation on many platforms, so they are drawn in colour rather than as monochrome glyphs. Appearance varies by device; the underlying character does not.
Are the planetary symbols the same as the zodiac ones?
No. The planetary glyphs are a separate set used in astronomy and astrology to denote bodies rather than signs, though they were encoded alongside them because they share a notational history.
