Alembic Symbol
⚗ is the Alembic symbol, commonly used to represent chemistry, experiments, and lab activities.
U+2697
The ⚗ symbol is called the alembic. It visually suggests lab chemistry and is widely used as an icon-like character. You can copy it directly or use its Unicode escapes in code.
Alembic Symbol Meaning
⚗ (ALEMBIC, U+2697) is a Unicode “Miscellaneous” symbol that depicts an alembic—an apparatus associated with chemical processes. In everyday use, people often treat it as a compact icon for chemistry, laboratory experiments, mixing solutions, or science/learning themes. It may also appear in lab-related branding, infographics, worksheets, or chat messages to signal “experiment” or “science activity.” As with many pictographic Unicode characters, its exact visual style can vary slightly by font, but it generally reads as chemical equipment rather than a specific chemical formula or technical operator.
Common uses
- •Labeling chemistry or laboratory sections in educational content
- •Marking “experiment” or “distillation” steps in lab notes and checklists
- •Using as an icon for science, research, or experimentation in UI and dashboards
- •Tagging posts, videos, or articles related to experiments and DIY science
- •Denoting a laboratory or chemical process in documentation and workflows
