There actually are glyphs assigned to these characters, at least in the original IBM PC ASCII character set:
Ascii table for IBM PC charset (CP437) - Ascii-Codes
http://www.ascii-codes.com/ http://www.ascii-codes.com/
They correspond to these Unicode characters
28 FS ∟ 221f right angle
29 GS ↔ 2194 left right arrow
30 RS ▲ 25b2 black up pointing triangle
31 US ▼ 25bc black down pointing triangle
They may not be particularly intuitive symbols for this purpose though.
