I must admit that it was much easier than expected...I have a need to use
symbols of planets and astrological signs in my writing and in the past I was
using Lyx/LaTeX with marvo symbol font where I was able to simply us
something like \Sun to get symbol for the sun or \Aries etc. for zodiacal
signs.

However, quickly I found out that it's super easy with AsciiDoctor, I defined
things like:

:aries:  ♈
...
:Sun: ☉
...

and then it's piece of cake to just use {Sun}, {Aries} etc. (of course,
assuming there is Unicode-aware font available.

Considering how easy & clean it is, I believe there are no more obstacles to
fully embrace AsciiDoctor for *all* my writings. :-)


Sincerely,
Gour
