Power On-off Symbol Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for Power On-off Symbol because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+23FC, which you can use as ⏼ in HTML, \23FC in CSS, or type with Alt+9212 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. Power On-off Symbol is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+23FC is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript. Power On-off Symbol has no named HTML entity, so use the numeric escape ⏼ or the hex escape ⏼.
