About the circle with vertical fill symbol

The character is typically read as “circle with vertical fill.” It belongs to a family of geometric symbols used in technical diagrams, flowcharts, and mapping systems to represent a specific filled or patterned area. In some contexts, it functions as a bullet point or marker in lists, offering a visual alternative to solid or empty circles.

Its vertical line fill distinguishes it from plain circles or those with other hatching patterns, making it useful for indicating a particular state or category in legend keys or data visualizations. The symbol also appears in older computing interfaces and text-based graphics where limited character sets required simple geometric shapes to convey information.
