Let’s say there’s someone I want to call Mr/Ms/Mrs [Name], but I don’t know their gender, is there a title I can use that doesn’t assume their gender?

Slightly off topic but I really like the approach where the honorific is just dropped entirely. So just [Name]. No Mr/Ms/Mrs. It mostly doesn’t serve any purpose anyway.
Not a contemporary one, but during the French Revolution, they used ‘Citizen’ for everyone.
Which, in French, is “citoyen” (masculine) or “citoyenne” (feminine). Not a neutral gendered word.
