History & usage: The character MECHANICAL LEG depicts a stylized prosthetic limb with the official name MECHANICAL LEG. Its name splits into tokens MECHANICAL and LEG, which signal a non‑natural limb in diagrams and iconography. In general terms, tokens like MECHANICAL point to artificial or engineered components, and LEG marks a limb or leg icon; together they guide readers on intended use without tying it to any one language. This matters for how the symbol is described in reference works and reproduced in print.
