The International Astronomical Union, the scientific organization responsible for naming things in space, discourages the use of symbols like these in scientific publications. According to the "IAU Style Manual," "In general, the special symbols for the names of planets and certain astronomical phenomena, such as conjunctions, should not be used. (A key should always be given if any such special symbols ae used.)"
