最近,一條關(guān)于“商場廁所標(biāo)志”的討論沖上熱搜第一。
有網(wǎng)友表示,有時(shí)候真的認(rèn)不清商場廁所的標(biāo)志,甚至在猶豫之中,還會走錯廁所,因?yàn)檫@些標(biāo)志都太太太抽象了!
評論區(qū)很多人也紛紛表示“有共鳴”:
有網(wǎng)友總結(jié),這些難以辨認(rèn)的廁所標(biāo)志主要有以下幾類:
1. 幾何圖形組合,比如向上或向下的三角形、水滴形狀、斜線等。
2. 藝術(shù)圖案,比如京劇臉譜、敦煌壁畫、動物剪影等。
3. 全英文標(biāo)志……
那么,公共衛(wèi)生間標(biāo)志有沒有統(tǒng)一的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)呢?實(shí)際上,公共衛(wèi)生間標(biāo)志屬于公共信息標(biāo)志,國家有推薦性標(biāo)準(zhǔn),但并不強(qiáng)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.
