In architecture, a line through a square symbol typically represents a section cut. It indicates where a vertical plane has been sliced through a building or structure to reveal its internal features, such as walls, floors, and spatial relationships. This helps architects and builders understand the design in three dimensions and plan construction accordingly. The symbol serves as a visual guide for interpreting the building's layout and details.

Yes. An example of symbols used today are 'icons' in the computer world, and the universal signs like the red circle with a diagonal line through it.

Sort of. There is a Druidic symbol for truth, although, like many other symbols, it has other meanings. Since Druids and Celts are associated with Ireland, it's probably a good bet the symbols would be the same (or at least quite similar). Although some pictures of the symbol only show the three lines, for a tattoo, you might want to add the three circles on top of each line. Now to describe this symbol: First, it's usually enclosed by three circles. The number 3 is very important in Celtic culture. Second, the middle line is centered and straight. The lines to the left and right flare out from the middle line, but also appear straight. At the top of each line is a small circle filled in with black. If you can find a magazine with Celtic designs, look for the symbol known as "Awen".
