Female Sign ♀
Copy & Meaning

A female/Venus sign — the circle with a cross below, representing the planet Venus and, by biological convention, the female sex. Originally the symbol of the goddess Venus and her planet, this symbol became the standard representation of female sex in biology and medicine, later extending to broader discussions of gender, feminism, and women's identity.

The female sign appears on gender reveal items, bathroom signs, and in any context requiring the representation of female identity or biological sex. Used for gender discussions, biological and medical contexts involving sex designation, feminist and women's rights content, gender identity discussions, and any expression of femaleness or femininity as a category.
