Trivia

Sailor Mars' planetary symbol (♂) stands for the Roman god's shield and lance. The difference between the symbol used in the Anime/Manga and the scientific symbol is, that the transforming sign has a heart instead of a circle.

Even though her planetary symbol contains a lance, she uses a bow and arrow as in Mars Flame Sniper.

In alchemy, iron used to be symbolized by ♂.
