The ◖ (Left Half Black Circle) symbol is a geometric shape featuring a solid semi-circle on its left side with a straight vertical edge on the right. Originating from the Unicode Geometric Shapes block, it is frequently used in digital typography, data visualization, and UI design to represent partial progress or a left-facing phase. In internet culture, you will often spot it creatively repurposed in Japanese kaomoji or text art to form cute eyes, animal ears, or expressive faces.
