Male Sign

Male Sign is a miscellaneous symbol drawn from weather, astrology, gaming, warning signage, or similar everyday categories, used to add a quick visual cue in text without switching to a full emoji.

Unicode block: Miscellaneous Symbols (U+2600–U+26FF). This eclectic block covers weather, astrology, chess, religious, and warning symbols — a mix that predates the modern Emoji blocks and still renders as plain (non-color) glyphs on most systems.

At Unicode code point U+2642 (decimal 9794), Male Sign is the 67th of 256 characters cataloged in this category on How To Type Any Symbol. In terms of typing methods, it has a documented Windows Alt code, though no dedicated single-key Mac shortcut — Mac users generally rely on copy-paste for it. Regardless of platform, clicking the copy button above places the exact character on your clipboard, ready to paste into any application that accepts Unicode text.

💡 Good to know: Warning and hazard symbols from this block carry real-world safety conventions in some contexts — use the standardized version rather than a similar-looking substitute in safety documentation.
