male sign

Historically known as the Mars symbol in astronomy and alchemy, this glyph has long represented the planet and the god Mars. Today, it commonly signifies the male gender or masculinity in various contexts. You often see it on restroom doors, in medical forms, and in gender selection fields on surveys. Designers also use it to emphasize male-oriented topics or themes. The circle with an arrow pointing northeast is instantly recognizable as the mark for male or Mars.
