The "⚥" emote, also known as the Male and Female Sign emote, is a symbol used to represent gender. It consists of the male symbol (a circle with an arrow pointing outwards) and the female symbol (a circle with a cross underneath). The combination of these two symbols represents the concept of biological sex and the traditional binary gender system. However, it has been criticized for excluding non-binary individuals and reinforcing gender stereotypes.
