About the power on symbol symbol

Represented as a vertical bar, the Power On Symbol is a technical graphic used to indicate the active state of a device or circuit. Within the Miscellaneous Technical block, it acts as a standalone counterpart to the open circle used for power off. On electronic interfaces, this symbol is read as the binary digit one, signifying that electricity is flowing or the hardware is initialized.

You will find this glyph primarily in engineering documentation and user interface design for hardware systems. It is commonly embossed on physical rocker switches to label the operational position and appears in digital safety diagrams to mark energized lines. In modern UI kits, developers use it as a standard icon on control panels to distinguish between activation and standby modes.
