(I'm guessing your keyboard may be missing a < sign.
Of course I have this sign, but since this sign is used to make html code, the sign disappears when previewed. :)
Most modern doors open from one side or the other.
I raised this question because often foreigners here can't understand which sign means what. Of course it has no problem if they found 'open' and 'close' or ideograms for those foreigners who learned Chinese characters can easily understand which is what.
My insist is that it's very inappropriate for elevator makers to indicate only such self righteous signs only they can understand. Any signs have no universal meaning.
Whatever the type of elevator it might be, I think it is sufficient enough for them to put down simply push this button to open or close. But sure most modern doors decrease the possibility of crush accident. We often encounter someone trying to rush into the room are subject to crush when someone inside push close button in haste.
