Why the Power Button Symbol Looks Like That.

We press it every day, but have you ever wondered what the power button symbol actually means? That simple circle with a line isn’t just a random design—it has a specific origin rooted in binary code and electrical engineering. The symbol dates back to the 1940s, when engineers used binary logic to indicate power states: 1 for “on” and 0 for “off.” Over time, these numbers were stylized into the modern icon you see on everything from computers and TVs to smartphones and gaming consoles. The vertical line represents “1” and the circle represents “0”—literally encoding the idea of power in a single image.
It’s one of those everyday symbols you see but never think twice about—and once you know what it means, you’ll never look at it the same way again.
