The "gay ear"
Would it be worth adding a section on the disputed/dubious use of ear piercing to symbolize homosexuality? A quick search sources on the topic, , , ,. Thanks! 129.242.129.238 (talk) 10:46, 4 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Isn't it supposed to be wearing one unpaired ear-ring in a specific ear? (I never knew which one...) AnonMoos (talk) 21:53, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

No citations for “⚦” meaning “transgender”
Neither citation for the paragraph on ⚦ is a reliable source for ⚦ being used to mean “transgender”. Both of them describe “⚧” instead, the accepted transgender symbol. The first source doesn’t even mention “⚦”, while the second source shows the symbol but with no explanation. 122.213.236.124 (talk) 00:53, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
 * We should be able to find something. Unicode is a dead end: there's no evidence for this in the 2003 proposal that got the symbol added, though there is for the vertical version. — kwami (talk) 06:19, 14 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Wiktionary defines it as "(LGBT) androgyne, gender-neutral, intersex" with a link to McElroy (2020) "Signs & Symbols of the World: Over 1,001 Visual Signs Explained"... AnonMoos (talk) 17:11, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 12 July 2024
Would like to add the 🜬 symbol for non-binary to the encoding section. Petticoatfive (talk) 10:43, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
 * . Next time, please include a reliable source with a request to save another editor time to find one. I found, however it appears the symbol you cited isn't technically the right symbol as it has an asterisk at the end and not an X - it doesn't appear that there is a unicode symbol with just the X, but if you do find one, please reply here and I'll be happy to add it.

 * Indeed, AFAIK the alchemical symbol doesn't have a 6-pt variant. This would need to be encoded separately. — kwami (talk) 06:11, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
