It is a field access symbol used in object oriented PHP code. You can use it to access functions or properties (variables) belonging to an object. It is similar to '.' notation in Java or C++. So where you would have myObject.someProperty or myObject.someMethod(), you have\nmyObject->someProperty or myObject->someMethod(). \nHope this helps...

The cross symbol could denote matter, and the u shaped symbol could be denoting a boat or a convergence.  Perhaps it is simply stating that the can is a conveyance of matter?  OR it is saying the can is a matter boat.\n\nA more practical approach might be that it is simply an attention seeking, mnemonic activating device for marketing purposes.

I don't know anything about the British pound sign, but I'm pretty sure  this symbol: # is also known as a pound sign. Which means a pound sign is on a keybord, just not the one you want. It's over the 3.

Wait... wait... it's coming to me... I can see the question in my head.  I think it looks like numbers and symbols... and... and...\n\nOh no!  The vision just faded and I can't see what the problem is.  Perhaps you could help by adding it as a comment to your question?

Do your own homework kid.  No wonder the rest of the world laughs at the American education system.\n\nI can't tell you what the symbol is.  I don't have the map from your textbook sitting in front of me...which you should.  All maps are different, and the symbols are different from map to map.  \n\nThere is a difference between helping with questions you don't understand or can't solve and doing the work for you.

It could be random letters representing cursing, or it may be a language like Chinese if you don't have the write fonts installed. In that case it looks like ascii gibberish.\n\nOr it could be something in binary format, like a compressed file looked at with notepad.

What's the symbol?  It's possible that the symbol is no longer valid.  It may have changed (this happened with Phillip Morris, which became Altria), the company may have been bought out and been absorbed into the new parent company (as happened with Compaq when they were purchased by Hewlett-Packard) or the company may have been delisted.\n\nIf any of those things happened, they wouldn't be on *any* financial site, Yahoo! or otherwise.

It means multiply. This asterisk sign is used in almost all computer keyboards to represent "Mutiply". It must be there also from where you have typed your question.

to add on to QuestionWyrm, they ARE in matter of fact ascii signs. THe one you are asking about in fact is an arrow through some bunny ears?\n\n>>--( V )-->\n    ('.')\n   ('')('')\n\nThere are also more...for example >>--|)---> which could be a bow and arrow.

In all my years as a mathematician, I have never come across a symbol to denote "skew lines."  There may BE one, but I have never seen it.  Nor would it be a particularly helpful symbol, in my opinion, since "most" lines are skew...the symbols appear to be reserved for "special cases" (e.g. coplanar, parallel lines).\n\nBe sure to visit the link below for greater insight.\n\nHope this helps!
