International images

[fbhjr]

One of the things we need to do for our machine is add “international
safety images” to make sure everyone all over the world knows what we’re
trying to say.
But, it is not clear to me that they mean the same things to everyone.
Below is the first one I found confusing. Let me know what you think

What do you think this means?

Just so you know, the real thing isn’t here. If you really know leave it
in the comments.

It makes sense once you know it- but I said "Huh???"

Aren't those Europeans so danged cute with their little wordless signs!
The worst part is (IMHO) is that they have many signs designed for some of the most obvious things, and the sign itself is what makes you second guess yourself as to what the thing really is..

lifting point / insert crane hook to lift here, yes?

It reminds me, oddly enough, of building scale model fighter jets when I was a kid and seeing a similar ? looking symbol for a decal on parts of the aircraft for I think tie-down points. *shrug*

or...maybe it's Orientate Your Gonzo This Way
