Symbols for the Metallic Arts - deeper meanings?

[Tsidqiyah]

I know this was likely discussed many times over the last 12 years but has anyone else noticed that all of the Symbols for the metallic arts have cross lines and at least in the more modern depictions are stylized to look like spikes? i realize this is a throwback to the Inquisitors and the Steel Ministry BUT is it possible that these cross lines could also indicate the Hemaluric bind points for those particular metals? I am going to dig into the remainder of the symbols and see if i can come up with a more intact theory here but i figured i figured i better check and find out if this is already trod ground.

Out-of-universe, the symbols were designed by Isaac to hold elements of all three metallic arts. Arcs represented bracers for Feruchemy, dots represented beads of metal for Allomancy, and the spikes were obviously spikes for Hemalurgy. That's where the pieces for the symbols come from.

As far as breaking down meaning even further, all I've been able to figure out is that the dot changes for pushing/pulling metals; for pushing metals (alloys), the dot is in within the arc, while for pulling metals (pure metals) it is on the outside, along the arc. I don't think anyone has been able to come up with any pattern or meaning for any other details of the symbols (i.e. number of spike/arcs, or their placement and orientation, or even the bonkers curved spikes for lerasium). But good luck, and more power to you! It might be helpful to look at other forms of the alphabet, which were used as headers in other Mistborn books.

Thank you, for the the design concepts. Honestly i am not sure there is anything there BUT it is always worth taking a look.
