About the earth symbol

The Earth symbol is a circle with a cross at its center, representing the classical astronomical and astrological sign for the planet Earth. It is the traditional glyph for the terrestrial globe, used in astronomy, astrology, and alchemy, where it also stands for the element earth.

In modern contexts, this character appears in scientific and reference materials, often alongside other planetary symbols. It is distinct from the globe emoji and is typically rendered in black or solid form, though it may appear in outline depending on the typeface.
