The ◛ (Lower Half Inverse White Circle) symbol features a solid black block with a white semicircular cutout occupying its bottom half. Originally added to the Geometric Shapes Unicode block, it is frequently used in technical diagrams, typography, and digital design to represent a bottom hemisphere or lower spatial alignment. While rarely used in everyday messaging, it serves as an excellent building block for text art and user interfaces to depict bowls, cups, or curved containers.
