处方 ℞

In English the abbreviation 「Rx」 is commonly written on medicine that can only be sold with a doctor's prescription. Such an abbreviation can be found in drug instructions and packaging, pharmaceutical and dispensing documents, medical textbooks, and patient brochures.

Unicode has a special symbol called 「Prescription Take」 that consists of a capital Latin 「R」 and a small letter 「x」 combined into a smart-looking symbol. It looks original and remarkable in text, so there’s no chance a person reading the paper will miss some important information about the prescription required. The symbol belongs to the 字母式符号  2100–214F block.

符号 「处方」 包含在 「字母式符号」 块的 「字母符號」 子块中，并在1993年作为Unicode版本1.1的一部分获得批准。
