I just saw this alternate glyph pop up on a webpage, not as an image,
so I checked through the fonts on my system. It's apparently used for
U+2651 by the GNU FreeFont family, GNU Unifont, and Chrysanthi
Unicode. Chrysanthi does some odd things in the Miscellaneous Symbols
range but the others are pretty normal. It may just be a version of
the standard symbol with the loop enlarged and the left-hand side
reduced to a small wave or hook.
