Way Out Sign In Chinese and Japanese Singapore

Here's the handy sign for way out. I had seen the symbol main times on public transport and not known what it meant.

Although the Chinese and Japanese languages sound different they share the same symbols or signs, just like the no smoking signs in Europe show the cigarette crossed out and although the words in English are no smoking and the words in other languages are different, the signs are the same.
