How it works

🜂 is fire, the first of 148 rows. Water, air and earth follow, then sulfur, mercury and salt, the seven metals from ☉ gold to ♄ lead, and the rest of Unicode's 119 alchemical symbols, each with what it stood for.

Read the full guide

Two ready sets, and two signs for silver

Row five copies the four elements together, 🜂🜄🜁🜃, and row nine the three primes, 🜍☿🜔. Silver is ☽, the Moon, and the alchemy block adds 🜛, a form of the silver sign from Isaac Newton's papers. Arsenic has one sign, 🜺.

If you see empty boxes

The block's first 116 signs joined Unicode in 2010, and a device with no font for them draws an empty box. Try the seven metals first: ☉ ☽ ☿ ♀ ♂ ♃ ♄ are planet signs from 1993. The last three rows date from 2026.

Tips
  • Alchemists never shared one notation. A 1928 inventory counted 3,695 symbols and variants and was still not complete, so Unicode's 119 are a selection.
  • 🜊 is named vinegar, yet Unicode lists ten other readings for it, crucible, borax and wine among them.

Questions and answers

What are the four element symbols in alchemy?

Fire is 🜂, an upward triangle, and water is 🜄, a downward one. Air is 🜁, the fire triangle with a bar through it, and earth is 🜃, the water triangle with a bar. 🜀 is quintessence, the fifth element Aristotle added.

What are the symbols of the seven metals?

Each metal took a planet's sign: gold ☉, silver ☽, quicksilver ☿, copper ♀, iron ♂, tin ♃ and lead ♄. The pairing is attested from the 7th century and began to break down in the 16th, when antimony, bismuth and zinc were found.

What is the alchemical symbol for tin?

♃, U+2643, the Jupiter sign: Unicode gives it the alias alchemical symbol for tin. The alchemy block has no sign for the metal itself, only 🜩 for tin ore, and Unicode points from that one back to ♃.

Is there a philosopher's stone symbol to copy?

Not as a character. The emblem usually shown for the stone is the squared circle, a 17th century drawing, and Unicode 18.0 has no character for it or named for the stone. 🜎, philosophers sulfur, is a different thing.

How do I type alchemy symbols on a keyboard?

None of the 119 has an Alt code, an Option key or a named HTML entity, so copy them. In HTML, write the number: 🜂 is 🜂. Of the metals, ♀ is Alt+12 or ♀ and ♂ is Alt+11 or ♂.

How this list was compiled: Every name, and the code point it belongs to, is checked against UnicodeData.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt), and printed in sentence case. The aliases, notes and cross-references in the rows are from NamesList.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/NamesList.txt), as is the count of forms a sign has; the version a character was added in is from DerivedAge.txt, the block from Blocks.txt, and the years from https://www.unicode.org/history/publicationdates.html. A check of those files confirms that all 116 characters of U+1F700 to U+1F773 are present, that they and the three of Unicode 18.0 are the only characters whose name says alchemical, and that no character is named for the philosopher's stone. Emoji facts are from emoji-data.txt, emoji-test.txt and emoji-variation-sequences.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/emoji/). Meanings that are not Unicode's, all fetched 2026-09-20: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alchemical_symbol (the three primes of Paracelsus and their principles; the seven planetary metals and when the scheme broke down; nitric acid, nitro-hydrochloric acid, spirit of wine, acid, mercury sulfide, sulfates, black sulfur, amalgam; the forms used by Newton and Bergman), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_element (Aristotle's fifth element), the four articles on air, earth, fire and water as classical elements (the triangle shapes) and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caput_mortuum. The last group holds characters that one ordinary computer had no font for on the day this list was checked; your device may differ. What is listed: the whole Alchemical Symbols block as it stood in Unicode 6.0, the planet signs Unicode gives an alchemical alias, the alembic, the three alchemical symbols of Unicode 18.0, two made rows and twelve plain, older characters that Unicode cross-references from an alchemical one (a cross-reference means related or similar, not identical). Left out: the block's later characters U+1F774 to U+1F77F, which are astrological and astronomical, and the zodiac signs. Alchemists did not agree on one notation, so a meaning given here is Unicode's or the cited article's, not the only one. The Start here group and the order are this site's own choice.
