Etymology
A simplified form of the $⟨☤⟩$ caduceus, due to confusion in the United States between the caduceus and the $⟨⚕⟩$ rod of Asclepius, which itself is the masculine equivalent of the serpent-and-bowl symbol $⟨🕏⟩$ of the goddess Hygieia. The original astronomical symbol was Hygieia's snake and a star, approximately $⟨🝹⟩$.

Symbol
