⎅
U+2385 "⎅" White Square with Centre Vertical Line is a graphic symbol primarily used in technical and user interface contexts to represent a "power on" or "standby" state, often functioning as an alternative to the more common circle with a vertical line (⏻). It is part of the Miscellaneous Technical block of Unicode and is intended for use in diagrams, control panels, or communication systems where a simple, clear visual indicator of an active or energized state is needed.
