<DIV><BR></DIV>Very common question. ;-) If you follow the current writing
rules, it is not correct to write (B) because the two arrows in (A) don't
overlap which is what that arrow means. The best way to think about the
overlapping arrow is imagining your right hand dipped in black paint and left
in white. When the black and white mark the same place, it would turn to a
gray paint. So that gray paint would be the overlapping arrow. With the sign
for PERSON, the black and white don't touch the same place.
