men’s room
The men's room emoji is a symbol that points to the restroom used by men. It can be useful when you need to find a restroom in a hurry.
This emoji is a universally understood sign for the men's restroom. You can send it instead of text when asking "Where is the men's room?" or telling a friend its location.
Beyond just a restroom, it can also symbolize the male gender itself. It can be used to indicate that a certain topic is about men or when talking about products for men.
There's a story that this symbol was first designed in Japan in the 1960s in preparation for the Olympics to help foreign visitors. Nowadays, as discussions about "gender-neutral restrooms" available to all genders move beyond stereotypes, the social meaning of this symbol is also changing.
