On/off power button symbol

  1. See that symbol on your Mac's power button? Wossat called then? I'm trying to find it in one of the billion fonts I have installed here.

  2. It's the "stand by" IEC 5009 symbol as defined by IEC/ISO/JTC1.

  3. It's actually the Standby symbol (on/off has the 1 completely enclosed by the 0) and is apparently defined by IEC 417, No. 5009. Which probably doesn't help...

  4. Power symbol.

  5. Is there, anywhere on that web site, anything useful ?

    Like a list of their standards, or perhaps there's a document there that lists the symbols they've declared standard.

    I got such a list from a Google search. The link to the homepage was just to link to the org that controls the standard.
