Gemini Symbol ♊: Mithun Rashi Sign, Text and Emoji

Gemini Symbol as Text, Not Emoji

If you searched for a "Gemini text symbol not emoji", this is the fix. The sign ♊ exists in two looks. The plain text form is a thin black glyph that matches your font. The emoji form is a coloured tile. The difference is one hidden character: the emoji version adds a "variation selector" (U+FE0F) after the sign.

1. Copy the first symbol in the grid above. It has no hidden selector.
2. Paste it into your document or bio.
3. If it still shows as a purple tile, the app's font is choosing emoji style on its own. This is common on iPhones and in some chat apps, and you cannot fully control it.
4. For a fixed look everywhere, use the Download PNG button and post the image instead.

Advanced users can add the text selector U+FE0E right after ♊ to ask for text style, but not every app respects it.

Why ♊ Looks Like the Number II

The glyph shows two figures standing side by side, held together by a line above their heads and below their feet. That is the twins, holding hands. The likeness to the Roman numeral II is real and easy to remember: Gemini is the sign of two.

Do not confuse ♊ with the Roman numeral Ⅱ or the pi sign π. They look a little alike in some fonts but mean different things. See Roman numerals and the pi symbol if you need those.

Castor, Pollux and Punarvasu

In Greek myth, the twins were Castor and Pollux, brothers so close that when one died the other asked to share his immortality with him. They were placed together in the sky.

You can still see them. The constellation Gemini has two bright stars side by side, named Castor and Pollux, visible in the evening sky in winter and early spring. In the Indian nakshatra system these two stars are linked with Punarvasu, the nakshatra traditionally associated with Lord Rama's birth star.

Mithun Rashi in English with Symbol

Mithun rashi in English is Gemini, so the Mithun rashi in English symbol is simply ♊. Here are the common names across India:

Whether you search Mithuna rasi symbol, Mithuna rashi symbol or Mithunam symbol, the glyph is ♊. The Mithun rashi ka symbol is ♊ everywhere, but the Mithun symbol in Indian art is often a man and a woman together (Mithun can mean a pair or couple), while Western art shows two brothers.

Gemini Dates and Gemini Rashi Symbol in Vedic Astrology

The gap of about 23 to 24 days comes from the two systems using different starting points. Indian astrology also usually gives your rashi from the Moon, not the Sun, so the Gemini rashi symbol in your kundli may not match a newspaper column. Compare all twelve on the zodiac symbols page.

Gemini in Astrology Belief

Gemini is an air sign and a mutable (dual) sign, ruled by Mercury (Budh), written ☿. In astrology tradition Gemini is said to be talkative, curious and quick to change topics. Treat these as traditional ideas, not facts about any real person. Neighbouring signs are Taurus and Cancer; the other air signs are Libra and Aquarius.

Typing ♊ and Using It in Bios

No Alt code exists for ♊. In Word type 264A then Alt+X. On Windows use Win+., on Mac Control+Command+Space, and on phones search "gemini" in emoji (this gives the emoji form).

Bio ideas: Kabir ♊ two moods, one playlist, ♊ | Mithun | June born, or ☁️ ♊ ☁️. The 👯 emoji in the grid is a playful "twins" add-on, though its official Unicode name is "woman with bunny ears".
