message: From some Googling, it appears this common symbol is not in Unicode, nor is it in the LaTeX symbol packages. Is this correct? —BenFrantzDale 22:49, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

message: It would probably be better to have a non ASCII visual representation of this symbol, ie. a vector-outline or monochrome image. 67.161.201.16

message: Added a section that mentions a fairly common mistake on a wide array of products.  Also added an example picture because the description itself is not entirely clear. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Zagaberoo (talk • contribs) 05:30, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Accidental misuse 

message: An earlier revision of this article incorrectly identified the standby symbol as a "power symbol", and the pictured Wii prototype is shown as an example of misuse. Can someone confirm how the switch on that prototype actually worked? If there was a standby mode in addition to power off, the label may not have been a mistake.  Thanks! --Klork 12:51, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fact check needed on Wii/Revolution mention 

message: Why are the IEEE standards listed as "alternatively"... most of the devices that I have seen in my lifetime seem to use the IEEE "power" symbol... was some study done to determine which is more common, or, whether the "Standby" symbol is used more frequently as "power" or "standby"?  I am inclined to believe it is used more frequently simply as an on/off, and certainly on computers, holding in the "Standby" button seems to function as a power switch as well... so, what gives?  I would also like to point out that doing a google image search for "power symbol" results in an overwhelming number of "standby" symbols.  I'm not claiming that this is definitive, just, something to note. JudgeX (talk) 17:21, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Since the IEC 60417 order of these symbols is different from the Unicode order, it can be difficult to compare the lists and find the IEC value for a Unicode value or vice versa. If you don't have the new additions to Unicode in your font, all you see is the Unicode code point value and name, and a square containing four tiny hex digits. I'm using  to add the symbols to the appropriate rows of the table in the Definitions section to make it at least possible. --Thnidu (talk) 04:51, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Matching Unicode to IEC 

message: I came to the article via Google to try to find out which of I or O means on or off. I had to read through a lot of text to eventually about 2/3 down the page, after a lot of reading and re-reading and a lot of careful thinking, find the answer hinted at. The first webpage given in Google is even worse, not answering the simple question but instead going into minute detail about various types of switches https://www.quora.com/Which-is-on-and-which-is-off-in-the-I-O-switches 92.24.182.235 (talk) 12:30, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
