Facts behind the power symbol
The well known on/off power symbol was the result of the logical evolution in user interface design. Originally, most early power controls consisted of switches that were toggled between two states demarcated by the words On and Off . As technology became more ubiquitous, these English words were replaced by the universal numeral symbols 1 and 0 (typically without serifs ) to bypass language barriers. This "1" and "0" standard is still used on toggle power switches.
To create the symbol for a single on/off button, the "1" and "0" symbols were super-imposed onto each other to create the universally recognized power symbol used today.
And moreover In binary systems, 1 means “on” and 0 mean “off.”
In 1973, the symbol in which 1 and 0 were superimposed was standardized as the power button symbol by the International Electrotechnical Commission ( IEC ). ON/OFF can be identified by the color represented by the power button.
