Symbol 20:25

2021a

2021b

20:25 · This sign for a water drop is in fact not a pictorial sign, although it is usually thought of as one, because a water drop is spherical in form. 2021a is a modern ideogram that appears on household appliances and machines. It signifies that the appliance is safe against splash and can be used outdoors under cover.
    When this sign is doubled, 2021b, it means that the machine is waterproof.
    Compare with 2433 for sprinkle-proof design, and with 2434 for rinse-proof design.
    Signs of similar shape but not filled, 2036, are common in comic strips. They are drawn as three or more "drops" around the head of a character, like 6502, to signify embarrassment or feeling akward.
