Meaning

The International Symbol of Access — a figure in a wheelchair, marking accessible entrances, parking, toilets and seating. It is one of the most important wayfinding symbols in the world. It is used to indicate accessibility, and increasingly in disability advocacy, where it stands for the broader point that access is a right rather than a courtesy. Note it represents accessibility generally, not only wheelchair users.
