water closet
The 🚾 emoji is an abbreviation for 'Water Closet,' another term for a toilet. It's a symbol that is especially common in Europe.
Like the 🚻 emoji, it indicates a public restroom, but it has a slightly more old-fashioned feel. You might find this sign in older buildings or train stations.

The term 'Water Closet' originated when flush toilets were first becoming widespread. It carries a historical feel, implying a 'special room' that uses water.
In modern English-speaking countries, the term 'WC' is considered somewhat outdated, with 'restroom' or 'bathroom' being more common. As an emoji, however, it's still universally understood and is used as a fun symbol with a slightly retro or international vibe.
