Many of the symbols are duplicates or redundant with previous characters. The Alchemical Symbols block was added to Unicode in 2010 as part of Unicode 6.0.

"Saturn" for lead and "Mars" for iron compounds of tin, iron and silver continued to be called "jovial", "martial" and "lunar" or "of Jupiter", "of Mars" and "of the moon", through the 17th century. Alchemists would typically call the metals by their planetary names, e.g. They started breaking down with the discovery of antimony, bismuth and zinc in the 16th century. The associations below are attested from the 7th century and had stabilized by the 15th. The exact correlation varied over time, and in early centuries bronze or electrum were sometimes found instead of mercury, or copper for Mars instead of iron, though gold, silver and lead had always been associated with the Sun, Moon and Saturn.
