A blue or black male symbol, typically represented as a circle with a small, diagonal arrow pointing right and upward from the top of the circle. This symbol is officially designated as the 'MALE SIGN' in Unicode, used primarily to indicate the male gender or to denote masculine attributes. It is not part of a series but is often paired with the female symbol (♀️) to indicate gender balance or differences.

Common Uses

  • Denoting masculine attributes: 'This product is designed for ♂️ consumers.'
  • Pairing with female symbol for gender balance: 'We strive for ♂️ and ♀️ equality in our workplace.'

Example Sentences
