U+26A6 "⚦" Male with Stroke Sign Unicode Character

U+26A6 "⚦" Male with Stroke Sign is a specialized symbol used primarily in the context of sexology, transgender studies, and LGBT iconography to represent a male identity or gender that is altered, crossed out, or otherwise transformed, often indicating a transgender man or a male-to-female transition when combined with other signs. Based on the traditional male symbol (a circle with an arrow), the stroke runs diagonally through the upper right portion of the sign, signifying modification or negation. While it is not as widely recognized as the combined transgender symbol (⚧), it remains a niche character within the Unicode standard for representing specific gender identities in digital communication.
