Apple Keyboard 2: Why the "Eject Emblem" on the "Power Key"?

Magic Keyboard 2 Power Button:

I am looking to use my newly-purchased Magic Keyboard 2 with my Mac. I purchased it for a few dollars at a local Goodwill Store.


The power key has an "eject" emblem on it.


So, can I eject items with it? Or is it just a "power key"?

“For Macs with built-in optical drives, the ⏏︎ will eject the disc.”

Thanks for that. Ejecting works on my 2010 Mac — a bit older Mac, but it works. My 2017 and 2018 ones don’t have a built-in optical drives, and those interoperate with the keyboard as expected. Not bad for three dollars.
