💡 Ever Wonder Where the Universal Power Button Symbol Came From? You see it on every computer, phone, and even your coffee maker—but have you ever thought about how the power button symbol (⏻) came to be? 🤔 Back in the 1970s, the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) needed a universal symbol to represent power functions on electronic devices. Instead of using words that would vary by language, they created a simple design based on binary code:⚡ "1" (one) means ON, and "0" (zero) means OFF.🔘 Combining the two, they designed the now-famous ⏻ power symbol—a circle (0) with a vertical line (1) inside it.By the 2000s, this icon became the global standard across electronics, ensuring that no matter where you are in the world, you know how to turn a device on or off! 🌍 💻 Next time you press that button, you’ll know the hidden meaning behind it! 🧐 #TechFacts #PowerButton #ComputerHistory #DidYouKnow
