The author studies harmonic maps \(\psi: S^2 \to \mathbb{C} P^n\) (resp. \(\mathbb{R} P^n)\) with few high order singularities. By using properties of the directix \(\psi_0\) of \(\psi\) or the harmonic sequence determined by \(\psi\), characterisations of these harmonic spheres with antipodal symmetry and complementation are given. Specialising to the case of factoring through \(\mathbb{R} P^2\), this gives the results due to \textit{J. Bolton}, \textit{L. Vrancken} and \textit{L. M. Woodward} [Math. Proc. Camb. Philos. Soc. 111, No. 1, 93-101 (1992; Zbl 0787.53052)]. The main result of this paper is the following strong existence and uniqueness theorem. Let \(\psi :S^2 \to \mathbb{C} P^n\) be a linearly full harmonic map with \(\psi (S^2) \subset \mathbb{R} P^n\) and \(k\)-point ramification for \(k\leq 2\). Then \(\psi\) has antipodal symmetry if and only if its directrix \(\psi_0= [\sum^n_{p=0} z^{k_1 +\cdots+ k_p} b_p]\) satisfies that \(XV\) is symmetric, where \(X= (\langle b_p, b_q \rangle)\), \(V=((-1)^{k_1 +\cdots +k_p} \delta_{p,n-q})\) and \(z\) is a stereographic complex coordinate on \(S^2\), \(\{b_0, \dots, b_n\}\) is a basis of \(C^{n+1}\), and \(k_1, \dots, k_n\) are positive integers.
