The ◭ symbol represents an upward-pointing triangle split vertically, featuring a shaded black left half and an empty right half. Originally added to the Geometric Shapes Unicode block, it is frequently used in user interfaces to indicate contrast settings, partial states, or specialized navigational controls. Designers and mathematicians also incorporate this character to illustrate binary phases, comparisons, or distinct geometric properties without needing an image file.
