In the standard nomenclature for pedigrees, the square indicates that the individual is male, a circle indicates that the individual is female and a diamond indicates that the sex of the individual is unspecified.

If the symbol is filled-in indicates that the individual is affected by the trait.

The image that shows an affected female in the pedigree is the first image.
