Could (more or less) fit that description and would make more sense as a symbol. Something like it even made it into Unicode (https://emojipedia.org/chart-decreasing/ https://emojipedia.org/chart-decreasing/)
- jandrese 5y agoThe article makes a decent case for the symbol to be a chart symbol that means "no right angle". The zig zag arrow apparently being a shorthand for "no" in that particular circle. It looks like a symbol that someone added for completeness but isn't particularly useful even in the field.
- GavinMcG 5y agoThat to me immediately communicates a decreasing chart. I would have no idea that the right-angle lines represent right angles generally and not chart axes.
- Cthulhu_ 5y agoIt's like the icon in question is a drunk / mirrored version of this one, from memory, drawn behind the back. It's like o7 vs 7o; if you know you know: http://i.imgur.com/ZjhHU87.jpg http://i.imgur.com/ZjhHU87.jpg
- standeven 5y agoThis was my first thought as well. Either a misdrawn version of this, or a corrupt SVG, that somehow made it to production.
