Power Symbol Symbol Meaning
The “POWER SYMBOL” (Unicode U+23FB, rendered as ⏻) is a widely recognized iconographic character for power. In practice, it most often communicates turning a device or system on and off, such as a power button, power state, or a control action. You may also see it used in technical documentation and app screens to label “power,” “power on,” or “power off” without using words.
