Yes, W· C is the earliest expression for toilets, the full name is water closet, which means to tell people "I'm going to poop and pee and squat in the pit". This very vulgar expression was used by countries such as Britain and the United States a hundred or two hundred years ago. Introduced in China for many years, many Chinese know that WC is the English abbreviation of public toilets, but in fact, abroad, WC has disappeared a few years ago and replaced by Toilet, so there will be jokes that foreigners do not know WC.
