About the vertical male with stroke sign symbol
The glyph combines the standard male symbol (a circle with an upward-pointing arrow) with a vertical line through the center. This character is used as a variant of the male sign, often to denote a specific or modified gender designation in contexts like medical forms, genealogical charts, or symbolic notation systems. It appears within the Miscellaneous Symbols block and is not part of the emoji standard, so it typically renders as a monochrome, text-style symbol.
