Women’s room Emoji
Symbols
A white female silhouette centered inside a purple square background. This icon serves as a standardized navigational aid for locating gender-segregated facilities in public buildings.
Usage Context
This is the go-to sign for indicating a women's restroom or changing area. It is frequently sent to help friends find a location in a crowded venue or to ask for directions, and is often seen alongside its counterpart 🚹 to denote the men's facility.
History
Adopted into Unicode 6.0 in 2010, this design stems from the ISO 7001 standard for public information symbols. It was standardized globally to ensure that travelers and international speakers could navigate facilities without needing to read local text-based signage.
