i've seen phi's that were capped at the bottom and the top, especially in order to distibugish between captial and lower case As long as there's a line running thru it, it's good. It could also be a theta on its side....?

There's a folder called: igel tsetop non tse mucearG
Backwards: Graecum est non potest legi
Latin for: It is Greek; it cannot be read
Inside the folder are three files:

Hex for: LIGATURES

add .jpg and open it to get:
Top right - mixes Omicorn and Tau
Top Left mixes - Gamma and Sigma

I have no idea how relevant this is, but there is a round symbol like that in trail signs that can mean. "end of trail" or "gone home"
as here:

It looks like the sun sign is a more relevant application here though...

= Ο + Τ = omicron (15) + tau (19)
= Θ + Μ = theta (8) + mu (12)
= Λ + Σ = lambda (11) + sigma (18)
= Θ + Π = theta (8) + pi (16)

Numeric values:
Omicorn = 70
Tau = 300
Theta = 9
Mu = 40
Lambda = 30
Sigma = 200
Theta = 9
Pi = 80

I'm pretty sure it's Lamda and Sigma, not Gamma.
Yeah, I realized that a little later.... opps!

pssst you mixed the sides.
also, it's not gamma's current design but it does look like the precusor glyph gimel, imo
edit: the consensus says otherwise, nm

Regardless of consensus though, if you look at "Corresponding Phoenician letter" column at the Gamma row, here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_alphabet
"gimel" there looks exactly like what we're calling Lambda in that symbol, even if the gimel's wiki page has it a little different. In fact, the Lambda has both legs pointing further down-- the gimel actually looks a lot more like it, I hadn't noticed when I called it Lamda on the first page.
