In my mind, it could be one of three things.
1. If your semi-circular pattern is filled with little dots, then it's just "shading" for the area above the mirror and below the top of the windshield. That's fairly common these days. The "dots" have no other purpose, AFAIK, than shading. Usually you can "feel" the dots on the inside of the windshield as, again usually, they're "added" after the windshield is made, but before it's installed.
2. Your windshield is a replacement windshield and the semi-circular line/pattern is non-standard, just what the windshield replacement folks had in stock. If you bought "new", then you'd know; if "used", then maybe not. Either way, no harm done.
3. You have a hairline crack. I really hope it isn't the case, but, could be. If so, a replacement is in order.
Cheers.
