The ◚ symbol, officially known as the Upper Half Inverse White Circle, is a distinct character from the Unicode Geometric Shapes block. It features a solid dark square or rectangular background with a white, semicircular cutout taking up the top half. While rarely seen in everyday messaging, this symbol is frequently used in technical diagrams, legacy computer graphics, and UI mockups to represent toggles, gauges, or specific data points.
