In addition to using pictures and choosing WC signs instead of toilet signs, you should indicate who the toilets are for. Some of the most common variants are Men and Women, Ladies and Gents, which are often indicated by figures wearing trousers or a skirt. You can also challenge gender norms and have gender neutral/unisex toilet signs.
