Guess what?! I found examples of signs using these unusual symbols! Look at my quick screen capture - Go to SignPuddle 2 Literature and “Search by Symbol” and using that kind of Search by Symbol, you can find signs that use those symbols in literature in SignPuddle 2. See my screen capture attached. So do you know how to Search by Symbol in SignPuddle 2?

Depending on what is in the middle of the stem will tell you which way the direction should be angled for the diagonal plane. The horizontal line in the stem means the movement moves away from you, and the dark dot means the movement moves towards you.
