U+25D3 Circle with Upper Half Black
U+25D3 was added in Unicode version 1.1 in 1993. It belongs to the block Geometric Shapes in the Basic Multilingual Plane.
This character is a Other Symbol and is commonly used, that is, in no specific script.
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+25D3 forms with similar adjacent characters prevents a line break inside it.
The CLDR project calls this character “circle upper half filled” for use in screen reading software. It assigns these additional labels, e.g. for search in emoji pickers: circle, filled, half, upper.
The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:
Geometric Shapes is a Unicode block of 96 symbols at code point range U+25A0–25FF.
