This symbol which can be represented with Unicode character U+2393 (⎓) is found on many electronic devices that either require or produce direct current. DC is commonly found in many extra-low voltage applications and some low-voltage applications, especially where these are powered by batteries or solar power systems (since both can produce ...
An electronic symbol is a pictogram used to represent various electrical and electronic devices or functions, such as wires, batteries, resistors, and transistors, in a schematic diagram of an electrical or electronic circuit. These symbols are largely standardized internationally today, but may vary from country to country, or engineering ...
Center positive symbol Center negative symbol. Polarity symbols are a notation for electrical polarity, found on devices that use direct current (DC) power, when this is or may be provided from an alternating current (AC) source via an AC adapter.
Reference should be made to codes and standards. For example, IEC 60027, and Letter Symbols in Electrical Technology. Here are tables of widely accepted symbols. They are meant to be a guideline: Using the same symbols for the same things in different articles will increase their consistency, making them easier to understand and to improve.

The conventional symbol for current is I, which originates from the French phrase intensité du courant, (current intensity). [5] [6] Current intensity is often referred to simply as current. [7] The I symbol was used by André-Marie Ampère, after whom the unit of electric current is named, in formulating Ampère's force law (1820). [8]
A typical one-line diagram with annotated power flows. Red boxes represent circuit breakers, grey lines represent three-phase bus and interconnecting conductors, the orange circle represents an electric generator, the green spiral is an inductor, and the three overlapping blue circles represent a double-wound transformer with a tertiary winding.
A schematic representation of long distance electric power transmission. From left to right: G=generator, U=step-up transformer, V=voltage at beginning of transmission line, Pt=power entering transmission line, I=current in wires, R=total resistance in wires, Pw=power lost in transmission line, Pe=power reaching the end of the transmission line, D=step-down transformer, C=consumers.
