Review commit 7c81751921fed77f1bd878b7655d239e62a85968 and locate the definition for U+23FB, currently named power.standby. Check the surrounding power-symbol naming and the discussion before choosing whether a rename is warranted. Done means the agreed identifier is updated consistently wherever this symbol is defined or referenced.

Description

proposal

These symbols were recently introduced in https://github.com/typst/codex/commit/7c81751921fed77f1bd878b7655d239e62a85968, however I think it's worth reconsidering some of the names.

In particular, ⏻ (U+23FB) is currently power.standby, but I think just power, power.toggle or power.button could be better names.
