How to make Mars and Venus symbols?

Post by Spectrum »

Does anyone know how to make Mars symbols (♂) and Venus symbols (♀) in LaTeX? Y'know, the shield-and-spear symbol that represents "male" and the mirror symbol that represents "female". I can't seem to find them.

Thanks.

Look at the Comprehensive LaTeX symbol list: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/sy ... ols-a4.pdf

On page 48 there are the Venus and Mars symbols by using the marvosym package (and also some alternatives).
