Hihi, all - Those letters both look cyrillic (at least in the e-mail), the first is a “sh” sound, the second an “f” (like Greek phi, which is where cyrillic came from) More later, Chris Sent from my iPhone

While we are on the subject of confusing notation, did anyone else ever see the sad war video for Kamikaze, and then wonder why the half naked singer/dancer shatter artist would ever call herself MØ as in "M empty set"? Ha hA HA ha.
Check wikipedia, Ø is actually a letter in Danish, as in Ørsted, duh Brad, it's not all a math world.
But then in the video the frontispiece is an upside down Sha (Ш) followed by a captial Φ. ¿Huh?
Some things these arty Euro-girls think up, I will never claim to understand.

Very standard for set-builder definitions such as:
{ form | condition }
The abbreviation S.T. should also be fine.
Slightly more infuriating is the upside down question mark.

As an undergrad at MIT, I learned a math symbol that math profs there used often: a backwards pitchfork for "such that".
It was pretty handy and used often. I don't remember if I've ever seen it used elsewhere and don't think I've ever seen it in tables of math symbols. If you connect the dots and shrink the picture, it looks something like this:
