Saturn

Representing the sixth planet from the sun, the ♄ symbol is known as the Saturn sign. In written text, it is understood as a representation of the planet Saturn or the Roman deity of the same name. This character belongs to the Miscellaneous Symbols block and is part of a standardized set of planetary emblems used across various scripts. It is visually characterized by a cross-topped hook, which is often interpreted as a stylized sickle or scythe.

Usage of this character is most frequent in the fields of astrology and astronomy, where it serves as a shorthand for the planet or the zodiacal sign of Capricorn. It appears strictly in specialized contexts such as natal charts, astronomical almanacs, and historical texts regarding alchemy, where it historically denoted the metal lead. Occasionally, the symbol is used in social media profiles or digital usernames to indicate an interest in space exploration or horoscopes.
