Boston’s Myers + Chang restaurant has the perfect solution to the pesky problem of how to label gender neutral bathrooms. What better symbol to use than Prince’s androgynous symbol name?

But is the symbol no one understood any easier to grasp when used to mark a bathroom door?

“It’s funny,” Weinrich told the Globe. “Some people get it right away — but others are a bit confused and aren’t sure which gender symbol it is.”
