The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process.
Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.
Translingual symbol meaning "neither male nor female". It appears to resist Google searching, so this may be hard to find attestation for. —Mr. Granger (talk • contribs) 22:25, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

- Delete. Wiktionary's mission is to create a dictionary which has an entry for every word in every language. I don't see how this could be a word. If it is, then e.g. traffic signs could be understood as "words". --Hekaheka (talk) 06:10, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
- You mean like this 🚦 (U+1F6A6 VERTICAL TRAFFIC LIGHT)? --WikiTiki89 15:13, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
- Is it used in writing? It seems that's the first question to answer; if we can identify uses in writing, then we can judge whether it qualifies. We have a bunch of characters used in writing, like * and ? and Unsupported_titles/Colon and ‽ (but not [[<]]), and also ⚲, ♂, ⚥ and ♀, symbols with similar usage. I can imagine uses that I would regard as keepable; try "Three people were there, Pat (♀), Pat (♂), and Pat (⚪)."--Prosfilaes (talk) 19:31, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

Racial sense[edit]
This is also used to mean "white", e.g. writing "⚪ people" to get around filters that would flag or block "white people" as impermissably commenting on a racial group. Whether this is common enough to merit listing I don't have time to ascertain. - -sche (discuss) 20:55, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
