toilet

This emoji represents the toilet, the most important fixture in a bathroom. It's a universally recognized symbol for restrooms worldwide.

Look for this sign when searching for restrooms in public places or buildings. It's also frequently used in conversations about restrooms or hygiene on smartphones.

This emoji is modeled after a modern flush toilet, which became widespread globally after being first patented in 1775 by British inventor Alexander Cumming. It represents a key invention that revolutionized hygiene practices.

In South Korea and Japan, where smart toilets are advanced, products with added features like bidets and heated seats are commonplace. Foreigners are often surprised by Korean bathroom culture, which is considered a unique aspect of K-culture.
