The two juxtaposed bars are an icon commonly used to indicate a pause or interruption, especially in contexts related to media playback such as music or video. When displayed on a media player, the two juxtaposed bars indicate that playback has been paused and can be resumed later by pressing the play button. This graphic representation has become standard and is immediately recognised by users as the pause symbol.
