In that case, Honza, what you want is a Rub symbol combined with  
arrows, which means a straight rub in the direction of the arrows.  
Brush means that the hand comes off the surface, but Rub means  
staying on the surface. The Rub symbol only means circular, when  
there are no other straight arrows connected to it...See the  
following web page:
