U+23FC "⏼" Power on-Off Symbol Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+23FC "⏼" Power on-Off Symbol is a graphic symbol included in the Miscellaneous Technical block of the Unicode standard, designed to represent a combined power state that indicates both "on" and "off" functions in a single icon. Visually, it resembles a circle bisected by a vertical line, which is a variation of the common IEC 60417-5009 power symbol that typically pairs a vertical line with a broken circle. This specific symbol is used in electronic interfaces, appliances, or documentation to denote a toggle that can switch equipment either entirely on or completely off, distinguished from the standalone "on" (I) or "off" (O) symbols. It was added to Unicode in version 7.0 released in 2014, providing a standardized digital representation for this commonly understood control icon in text and digital displays.
