Meaning and examples

Last updated: 05/05/2026

♀️ represents female sign, typically shown as a circle with a small cross below it. Designs vary from a simple flat symbol to a colorful rounded-square icon with a 3D look.

The female sign is a universal symbol used to denote the female gender across various fields including biology, astronomy, and sociology. It consists of a circle with a small cross descending from the bottom, historically linked to the mirror of the goddess Venus.

In communication, it is frequently used to discuss gender-related topics or to identify specific demographics. Common usage examples include phrases like "The ♀️ symbol represents women's rights," "This study focuses on ♀️ health issues," or simply using the icon to denote "female" in a list or profile bio.
