Strange symbol on PSU label

This is an SMPS symbol from the IEC 60417 standard. It identifies an

electronic device incorporating transformer(s) and electronic circuitry(ies), that converts electrical power into single or multiple power outputs.

There's also a similar symbol for a linear PSU:

similar symbol with ring and arrow but with added "L" shape

The PSU must have an internal operating frequency below 500 Hz to be considered linear by the standard.
