Whenever those two symbols are written together it means PRESS, and when one reads the sign, one knows that the pressure is going to remain, and any movement is coming from the stationary arm…here is the way I would write the sign for MEDICINE in ASL, for example, which has the middle finger pressing on the other hand, while the small arrows are "small finger arrows". The movement is really from the pressing finger…staying stationary but jiggling from side to side…
