power symbol

Standby mode indicator

The power symbol is the circle with a vertical line through the top (⏻), found on electronic devices to indicate the on/off button or switch.

The design combines the binary digits 0 and 1—off and on—into a single icon.

Variations include a complete circle with line (standby), broken circle with line (full power off), or just the line or circle alone.
