Unicode Version 17.0
◗
U+25D7 "◗" Right Half Black Circle is a geometric symbol defined in the Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrows block, representing a circle where only the right half is filled with solid black while the left half remains transparent or empty. This character is often used in typographic decorations, progress indicators, visual formatting, and diagrams where a partial or semi-filled shape is needed to convey direction, completeness, or asymmetry. It pairs visually with its counterpart, the Left Half Black Circle (U+25D6), and is distinct from the full circle and other half-circle symbols by its specific orientation and blackened right side.
