Alchemical Symbols is a Unicode block containing symbols for chemicals and substances used in ancient and medieval alchemy texts. Many of the symbols are duplicates or redundant with previous characters.[3]

Few fonts support more than a few characters in this block as of 2021. One that does and is free for personal use is Symbola 14.0.
