About the Play Pause black filled icon
A right-pointing triangle sits beside two tall vertical bars, its tip touching the first bar so play and pause read as one combined control. The pairing stands for toggling playback, starting and holding media. Use it in audio and video players, podcast apps, remote control layouts, presentation software, streaming dashboards and hardware button legends where a single key handles both actions.
Bars and triangle share the same height, and the narrow gap between the two bars keeps the pause half distinct from the play half. The tip-to-bar contact is what makes the pair read as one glyph rather than two icons. It pairs with stop, skip, rewind and record icons; give it even side padding so the wide footprint stays centered in a button.
This is the solid black filled version of the play pause icon: a bold silhouette that reads clearly at 16-24 px and on dark or busy backgrounds, and prints well in one colour.
