Historical signs need a source

The Unicode Alchemical Symbols block encodes characters found in historical sources. Their names identify the encoded signs, but usage and interpretation can vary between manuscripts, periods and authors.

Use these characters for transcription or reference with an appropriate source citation. Font coverage is uneven, so verify that each selected sign renders in the final document.
