The symbol is wrong
[edit]The symbol looks like no comet symbol I've ever seen, the troubles being:
- the circle is an ellipse, that ellipse slants,
- the tail strokes are dashed,
- the tail strokes are not in contact with the circle that is an ellipse,
- the strokes are very thin, making the symbol hard to see in small dimensions.

- To defend the author User:Lucis, the creation of the image was in good faith, fetched from the DejaVu font, whose comet representation is erratic (adding the above ellipse error), a serious try to make the erroneous image from Unicode Miscellaneous Symbols (U+2600++) Raw look better, where the circle is still a circle, the tail strokes are attached to the circle, but the tail strokes are just outlined, not fully drawn... error added upon error... Instead take a look at the link ~ Neronian Astrological Charts ~ for properly drawing comets. Rursus (talk) 09:06, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
It's just a graphic variant. Cleaned up per a nicer font. And the one above isn't the greatest -- it looks like Sputnik, not a comet. The Unicode form is closer to . Kwamikagami (talk) 06:36, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
