I think sometimes this symbol is used ignorantly. That triangular pattern is a common (albeit stylized) welding bead pattern that welders use to run a bead. I know when I see it, I think pedo, but someone who was unaware might innocently strike upon it.
It’s called the triangle weave weld. It’s one of about 8 “patterns” welders use to run symmetrical overlapping beads.
I’m not saying there isn’t pedo shenanigans going on, but…bear with me….not everyone is this far down our rabbit holes, and sometimes triangles are just triangles. I bet everyone of us has doodled something similar in our youth.

Where would you run a bead of that shape?

There is chart of weave weld patterns halfway through this article. Just FYI.
