U+23FE "⏾" Power Sleep Symbol Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⏾
U+23FE "⏾" Power Sleep Symbol is a graphical icon representing a power state, specifically a sleep or standby mode, combining elements of a circle and a crescent moon to suggest a partially active yet resting electronic device. It was introduced in Unicode 9.0 as part of the Miscellaneous Technical block, primarily for use in user interface controls on devices such as computers, remote controls, and appliances. Unlike the full power symbol (U+23FB ⏻), this character clearly indicates a low-power hibernation state rather than a complete shutdown, enhancing clarity in digital interfaces and documentation. Its inclusion helps standardize sleep mode indicators across platforms, reducing confusion between different power state symbols.
