All Planet Symbols: Copy-and-Paste Reference

Here are all the planet symbols in one place, ready to copy: ☉ ☽ ☿ ♀ ♂ ♃ ♄ ♅ ♆ ♇. Click any glyph below to copy it, then paste it into a chart, a bio, or a document. The full reference table with Unicode code points and HTML entities is right under it.

These are the classic astronomical and astrological signs for the Sun, Moon, and planets. Astrologers use the same glyphs for the planetary rulers behind each of the twelve zodiac signs. Note that Mercury borrows the female and male signs’ cousins, and Venus and Mars are the female sign (♀) and male sign (♂).

None of these planet symbols has a Windows Alt code. The decimal number you see quoted elsewhere (9789, 9799, and so on) is the Unicode value, not an Alt code. Typing it as 2647 then Alt+X in Word will not produce Pluto. Use one of the methods below instead.

How to type planet symbols

Windows

Since there is no Alt code, open the emoji and symbol panel with Win + . (period), search “planet” or the planet name, and click the glyph. For anything the panel misses, open Character Map (search it in the Start menu), find the character by its Unicode value, and copy. See the copy-and-paste symbol tool for the fastest route.

Mac

Mac has no Alt codes. Press Ctrl + Cmd + Space to open the Character Viewer, search the planet name, and double-click to insert. Venus (♀) and Mars (♂) also sit under the “Math Symbols” and “Miscellaneous” categories.

Word, Excel, and PowerPoint

In Word, type the hex code point and press Alt + X. For Pluto, type 2647 then Alt + X. This works in Word, Outlook, and OneNote only. In Excel and PowerPoint there is no Alt + X, so use Insert → Symbol and enter the hex value in the character-code box. In an Excel cell you can also type =UNICHAR(9799) for Pluto (the function takes the decimal value).

Google Docs and Sheets

In Google Docs, go to Insert → Special characters and search the planet name or draw the shape. Google Sheets has no such menu — use =UNICHAR(9799) in a cell, or paste the glyph in directly. Press F2 first if you need to edit the cell before pasting.

iPhone, Android, and Chromebook

Phones have no planet keys on the standard keyboard, so the reliable move is to copy from this page and paste. To reuse a glyph often, save it as a text replacement (iOS Settings → General → Keyboard; Android Gboard → Dictionary) so typing “pluto” expands to ♇. On a Chromebook, press Ctrl + Shift + U, type the hex value (e.g. 2647), then Space — no U+ prefix. Or open the picker with Launcher + Shift + Space.

Notion, Slack, Discord, and Canva

None of these has a planet-symbol shortcut. Paste the glyph from the table above. In Slack and Discord you can also set a custom text replacement or auto-complete so a keyword drops in the symbol. In Canva, paste into any text box; the glyph inherits the font.

Why some planet symbols show in colour

Venus (♀) and Mars (♂) are also emoji characters, so on a phone they can appear as coloured emoji while on a desktop they stay plain and monochrome. Nothing is broken. To force one style, add a variation selector after the glyph: append U+FE0E for the flat text version, or U+FE0F for the colour emoji version. The astronomical glyphs (☉ ☿ ♃ ♄ ♅ ♆ ♇) are plain text and render the same everywhere.

Where planet symbols are used

Astrology charts, natal-chart notes, tarot spreads, astronomy homework, and social bios. The Venus and Mars signs double as gender symbols in biology and design. Most of the time people paste these into a caption, a spreadsheet of chart data, or a Discord profile.

Frequently asked questions

Do planet symbols have Alt codes?

No. None of the ten planet symbols has a standard Windows Alt code. Use the emoji panel (Win + .), Character Map, or in Word type the hex code point and press Alt + X, for example, 2647 then Alt + X for Pluto ♇.

Why does a planet symbol show as an empty box?

The font in use lacks that glyph. Switch to a font with broad symbol coverage such as Segoe UI Symbol, Arial Unicode MS, or Noto Sans Symbols, and the character will appear.

Why does Venus or Mars look different on my phone than my laptop?

The ♀ and ♂ signs also have an emoji form, so phones may render them in colour while desktops show plain text. Add U+FE0F after the glyph to force colour, or U+FE0E to force flat text.

Can I use planet symbols in a username or bio?

Usually yes. Most social platforms accept these Unicode characters in bios and display names. Some sign-up fields block non-letter characters, so if it is rejected, use it in the bio instead.

Is the female sign the same as the Venus symbol?

Yes. ♀ (U+2640) is officially the Female Sign and is the standard symbol for the planet Venus. Likewise ♂ (U+2642, Male Sign) stands for Mars.
