Power symbols
This page lists of the various symbols in the Power symbols group.
A power symbol is a symbol indicating that a control activates or deactivates a particular device. It incorporates line and circle figures, with the arrangement informed by the function of the control. The universal power symbols are described in the International Electrotechnical Commission 60417 standard, Graphical symbols for use on equipment, appearing in the 1973 edition of the document (as IEC 417) and informally used earlier.
Symbols in this group:
Crescent symbol
A crescent moon, indicating sleep, is added by IEEE 1621 as a replacement for the standby symbol.
Off symbol
IEC 5008, the power off (circle) symbol on a button or toggle, indicates that using the control will disconnect power to the device. It comes from the binary system (0 means off).
On Off Symbol
IEC 5010 is a technical standard for the symbolization of medical devices and equipment used in healthcare facilities. It includes a set of symbols that represent medical devices and their functions, such as the symbol for a defibrillator or a syringe. Each symbol is designed to be easily recognizable and understood by healthcare professionals regardless of their language or culture.

Rosalina's Emblem
Rosalina is a Character From Nintendo's Super Mario Franchise Created By Shigeru Miyamoto.
Standby Symbol
IEC 5009, the standby symbol (line partially within a broken circle), indicates a sleep mode or low power state. The switch does not fully disconnect the device from its power supply. This may appear on a toggle switch opposite a power on symbol, alone on a pushbutton that places the device into a standby state, or alone on a button that switches between on and standby. Alternatively, under IEEE 1621, this symbol simply means "power".
Unicorn Mercat Cross
In Celtic mythology the unicorn was a symbol of purity and innocence, as well as masculinity and power. Tales of dominance and chivalry associated with the unicorn may be why it was chosen as Scotland’s national animal.
