How can I type the classic gender symbols (male and female)? This was asked previously, and those instructions only brought up a distorted female symbol, double male and double female symbols, but no proper male symbol. Used all the time in biology. What's the problem here?

Thanks. You really have to dig to find these commonly used symbols.

Open Emoji & Symbols from the Edit menu and choose the Pictographs category. If you don't have a list of categories on the left, make sure you have the expanded viewer by clicking on the button in the top, right corner.
If you don't see Pictographs, choose Customize List… from the gear menu. Add the Pictographs category.
hi honey creeper. i hope these were not the instructions you tried before.
press control+command+spacebar
the "male" "female" symbols are in the pictographs section. just double-click the symbol you want to display.

I've never used them, nor the thousands of other unicode symbols you can find in that dialog. Very few of them are common for me.
Male/female symbols
