Is it one that is supposed to exist? do you have a sample?

If you know what the symbol is called you could search for it, at the top of the symbol selector window there is a place to search. Where did you get the symbol you have, if it's from another map you could use the other map to discover the symbols source. The are also options to create your own symbols, if your interested in doing a little extra to get the symbology your after.

Hi I tried to search for the name of the symbol but I couldn't find it at all and the map I took it from is a pdf so I have no clue what is the source. Is it easy to create my own one?

Thank you for your answer
