Hi phil. Yep, a sign saying "Girl's toilet" is often the way, though quite often men's and lady's toilets just have a litle plaque on the door showing a black silhouette (often tactile), of a figure in trousers or a skirt. most schools, and all the buildings here at my uni do this.
However, sinse both male and female wizards in the Hp universe wear robes , I'd think they'd probably use a written sign at Hogwarts. Beware the Grue!
