I have never given much thought about why power button in my mac or any laptop got this symbol or icon as in below pic until i read a post in quora.
In Binary we represent 1 for 'ON' and 0 for 'OFF'. As Power button goes for both on and off,it got the symbol as a blending of both 1 (On) and 0 (Off)
