⏂
U+23C2 "⏂" Dentistry Symbol Light Up and Horizontal with Circle is a specialized graphical symbol included in the Miscellaneous Technical block, intended for use in dental charting and notation systems. It represents a specific dental condition or treatment status, typically indicating a terminal or complete root canal therapy on a tooth, where the "light up" element suggests the tooth is no longer vital and the horizontal line with a circle denotes a specific orientation or closure of the root canal. This symbol, while rarely used in general text, provides a precise visual shorthand in professional dental software and clinical records, helping dentists communicate treatment details unambiguously.
