Hey, fedi #Unicode nerds!  

#OpenStreetMap's Andy Mabbett (@Pigsonthewing) is asking whether anyone knows about any instances of the #OrdnanceSurvey's bench mark symbol appearing in actual print, on a page. Looks a bit like β­± or β€’ but a broader arrow. Usually found carved on stone or brick all over the UK/ROI.

Their goal is to propose it as a Unicode symbol! https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/os-bench-mark-symbol-in-printed-documents/128182

Any known international usage of this symbol would doubtless be appreciated too

@achadwick @Pigsonthewing @openstreetmap Looks like a surveyor's transit, perhaps?
