U+2389 Circled Horizontal Bar with Notch
U+2389 was added in Unicode version 3.0 in 1999. It belongs to the block Miscellaneous Technical in the Basic Multilingual Plane.
This character is a Other Symbol and is commonly used, that is, in no specific script. The character is also known as pause.
The glyph is not a composition. It has no designated width in East Asian texts. In bidirectional text it acts as Other Neutral. When changing direction it is not mirrored. The word that U+2389 forms with similar adjacent characters prevents a line break inside it.
The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:
The Break key (or the symbol ⎉) of a computer keyboard refers to breaking a telegraph circuit and originated with 19th century practice. In modern usage, the key has no well-defined purpose, but while this is the case, it can be used by software for miscellaneous tasks, such as to switch between multiple login sessions, to terminate a program, or to interrupt a modem connection.
Because the break function is usually combined with the pause function on one key since the introduction of the IBM Model M 101-key keyboard in 1985, the Break key is also called the Pause key. It can be used to pause some computer games.
