How to Use and Format the Power Symbol

Format ⏻ according to the page-specific role of Switch Symbol. Switch Symbol documents ⏻ for buttons and status messages. The encoded sequence is U+23FB; its Unicode names are POWER SYMBOL. Preserve every component, including capitalization, spaces, superscripts, punctuation, variation selectors, or zero-width joiners. In buttons, introduce the form with a readable label. In status messages, retain the convention used by the source. In navigation labels, verify that the chosen font supports the complete sequence.

Switch Symbol is limited to the encoded form ⏻ in interface and status. The Switch Symbol page excludes image-only signs, collections, logos, and unrelated meanings. For web publishing, use selectable UTF-8 where practical, test copy-and-paste behavior, and provide an accessible name when the surrounding text does not already state “Switch Symbol.” Check the final output in the website, document, spreadsheet, equation editor, export format, and assistive-technology workflow rather than approving a merely similar-looking substitute such as ℹ or ⚙.

  • In buttons, define ⏻ as Switch Symbol before relying on the character alone.

  • Preserve the complete sequence U+23FB; do not remove spaces, component letters, superscripts, joiners, or variation selectors.

  • Apply this intent boundary in status messages: Switch Symbol is limited to the encoded form ⏻ in interface and status. The Switch Symbol page excludes image-only signs, collections, logos, and unrelated meanings.

  • Compare ⏻ with ℹ and ⚙ before selecting a visually similar form.

  • Use literal UTF-8 or the numeric references ⏻ and ⏻ so the result remains searchable and selectable.

  • Provide the accessible text label “Switch Symbol” whenever ⏻ appears without explanatory wording.

  • Test switch symbol in the final font, mobile layout, copied text, PDF export, and screen-reader output before publication.
