About the male and female sign symbol
The male and female sign is a combined symbol that merges the traditional male (Mars) and female (Venus) markers into a single glyph. It is formed by superimposing the cross of the female sign onto the circle-and-arrow of the male sign, creating a compact emblem.
This character is used to indicate intersex, transgender, or non-binary identities, as well as androgyny or gender ambiguity. It appears in medical, sociological, and LGBTQ+ contexts, often on signage, in literature, or on forms to represent a third gender option.
