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 edit
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]
