[edit] Summary

One version of the heterosexual symbol (i.e. a Mars symbol and Venus symbol horizontally or diagonally offset, and usually interlinked, Unicode 4.1 character U26A4 ⚤). Instead of using the clichéd pink-and-blue of recent origin as colors of the sexes, this graphic variation of the symbol uses the colors based on the old "alchemical" assignments of different metals to the seven classical planets (i.e. Venus=copper=patina=green and Mars=iron=rust=red).

For versions of this symbol using the recent (early 20th century) commonly-used colors pink and blue, see Image:HeteroSym-pinkblue.svg and Image:HeteroSym-pinkblue2.svg (or the alternative artistic rendering Image:Symbols-Venus-Mars-joined-together.png ).

For versions of a "planetary" symbol of the sexes with slightly different symbolic meaning, see Image:Sexes-planetary-sym.svg , Image:Sexes-planetary-sym-dimcolors.svg , and Image:Sexes-planetary-sym-pinkblue.svg .
