        I can't tell if the rendering I see is correct or not. Can you describe the correct rendering and some incorrect yet probable one(s)?

          It is a "heavy circle". This page may help: https://decodeunicode.org/en/u+02B58 https://decodeunicode.org/en/u+02B58

  a character is a character. You can't say its only a half

    >You can't say its only a half The character is only half a character. There, I just did.

    The symbol was already present, but it was given new documented semantic content ("meaning"). Previously it was just a circle, now it's also the symbol for "power off".
