The "⚤" emote, also known as the "Interlocked Female and Male Sign," is a symbol that represents biological sex and gender. It depicts a circle with an arrow pointing upwards and to the right, intersected by two interlocking shapes: a circle with a cross inside representing female, and an arrow pointing upwards representing male. The symbol is commonly used to indicate heterosexuality or to represent the concept of gender binary. However, it has been criticized for promoting exclusionary attitudes towards non-binary and LGBTQ+ individuals.
