最近，一条关于“商场厕所标志”的讨论冲上热搜第一。



有网友表示，有时候真的认不清商场厕所的标志，甚至在犹豫之中，还会走错厕所，因为这些标志都太太太抽象了！



评论区很多人也纷纷表示“有共鸣”：






有网友总结，这些难以辨认的厕所标志主要有以下几类：

1. 几何图形组合，比如向上或向下的三角形、水滴形状、斜线等。

2. 艺术图案，比如京剧脸谱、敦煌壁画、动物剪影等。

3. 全英文标志……



那么，公共卫生间标志有没有统一的标准呢？实际上，公共卫生间标志属于公共信息标志，国家有推荐性标准，但并不强制。

A topic about restroom signs in shopping malls has sparked online discussion. Many netizens find these signs too abstract — using geometric shapes, artistic icons, or only English words — leading to confusion or even mistakes. Currently, China has non-mandatory guidelines for public restroom signs, meaning there are no standardized designs, and malls have the freedom to create their own.
