These signs, or  , the Libra sign, were used in alchemy to denote a sublimate, i.e. the result of sublimation. They also stood for mercury chloride, the substance that the alchemists could most easily sublimate. For more information about the process of sublimation, look up in Group 6, or read the sections on alchemy in Part III.
Compare with  for mercury.
