MuchMusic Spotlight on KT Dec. 14; strange symbol

Kate will be the featured artist on the (Canadian) MuchMusic channel,
Thursday (Dec. 14).  6 pm & 10 pm, EST, and 6am on Friday.
They'll most definitely play TSW.  I'm hoping for at least one of
LAA or TWW.

Let's move on to the strange symbol found on both the 12" and the picture
disk single of TWW.  It looks (very roughly) like this

    (|)
    .|.

On the picture disk, the top part is a circle, and the "stem" 
reaches only halfway up the circle.  The whole symbol is enclosed
in double quotes.  (On the other side is the message "UP YOURS UGLY",
also in double quotes, as been reported by Vishal)
On the 12" single, the top portion is an elipse, and the stem reaches
all the way to the top, so it resembles a "P" that is reflected about
its axis.  It is not enclosed in quotes and there are no other
messages on the disc.
Since it appears on BOTH media, it's worth thinking about, no?
