M: Hi, could you please help me decide which sign to put on the wall next to the women's toilet?
W: What's it for?
M: It's for those who are unfamiliar with the building and can't find the men's toilet.
W: Hmm ... let me see. Well, these two with a straight arrow under the man is a definitely a no-no.
M: Why is that?
W: It's misleading and unclear. People might think that the arrow means the men's room is downstairs.
M: Ah, I get it. So should I use this sign with a men's room symbol crossed out and put the words, "other side of the hall" below it?

I'd like to know if the red part is a shortened form of "a men's room symbol that is crossed out".
