Alternative forms

For Pluto, the orb may be as large as those of the other planetary symbols ⟨⟩, ⟨⟩, ⟨⟩, ⟨⟩ and German-style ⟨⟩. There may be no globe at all in German sources that use a globeless ⟨⟩ for Neptune.[1]

Etymology

For Astraea, this is an inverted anchor, 🝸, presumably a typographic substitute for the mythologically associated set of scales, and dates to 1849.[2]

It's not known if the Pluto symbol is related. It has been in use since at least 1950 without an orb[3] and 1969 with an orb.[4]
