Hi Ingvild!
The sign to the left was written in Japan. It shows two movements up  
diagonally at the same time.

And you are correct about the sign from Northern Ireland to the  
right......The right hand is going down-up-down and the left hand is  
going up-down-up...so it is not only even, but alternating...two very  
different signs...for sure!

And I guess you have a third? smile...lots of variations of similar  
signs...
