Planet symbols - weird rendering on some devices. #2

The site uses the traditional symbols for the planets, as seen in old astronomical almanacs. Using those symbols has the advantage of being very curt - they take minimal space.

On a Samsung device, I've saw these symbols appear with colored backgrounds, with a different color for each planet. It didn't look very good.
