U+25D1
◑ is a half-filled circle symbol used to visually indicate a “partial” or “split” state. It’s compact and works well in UI labels, icons, and simple diagrams. You can copy it directly or use its Unicode code point U+25D1.
Circle With Right Half Black Symbol Meaning
The symbol ◑ (Unicode U+25D1) is commonly used to represent a “half” or “partial” condition, often with a directional or right-side emphasis. In UI and design contexts, it can suggest an in-progress state, progress that covers about half of a target, or a control that is only partially active. Because the right half is black, it can also be used to show a split layout, a two-part status indicator, or a simple visual divider for left vs. right categories. In writing and diagrams, it functions as a geometric marker rather than a word, making it useful when you need a neutral, purely visual cue.
Common uses
- •Status indicators for “about half complete” or “partially enabled” UI elements
- •Iconography for split or dual-sided controls (left/right emphasis)
- •Diagram markers to label sections or stages in a simple flow
- •Use in labels and badges where a minimalist geometric symbol is preferred
- •Typography-based decoration for headings, separators, or list markers
