"This triceps means divine power. According to the Anglo-Saxon tradition it was originally a Nordic sign. We can see that it is similar to the preceding entry sign, with the addition of equilateral triangles at the end of each arm.
The giant Japanese Mitsubishi Group has taken this sign as its logotype.
Compare with , which is composed of two triceps of this type joined in a circle and is used as the logo for a radio and appliances sales chain."
