U+237E "⍾" Bell Symbol Unicode Character

U+237E "⍾" Bell Symbol is a graphic character in the Miscellaneous Technical block, originally included for compatibility with the APL (A Programming Language) keyboard layout, where it represents the bell or audible alert function. Unlike the common ASCII bell character (U+0007), which is a control character that triggers an alert sound, this symbol is a visual representation used in textual notations or diagrams to indicate a bell signal. It consists of a vertical line crossing a small circle, resembling a stylized bell, and is intended for display rather than for producing an actual audible tone.
