This symbol is one of the important pictograms in Japan's public guidance system. It's part of the Japanese signage system developed for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics and was designed to be easily understood by foreigners.
It has become an essential element in modern Japanese urban design and guidance systems, and is particularly effective as a wayfinding tool in complex subway stations or large buildings. It has also influenced public guidance systems in several other Asian countries, including South Korea.
