Does anybody know the meaning of the letter N in a circle symbol on both of these posters above, taken at different Occupies?

The arrow and cross extending from the circle are the respective symbols for Venus and Mars. I would guess it has something to do with free love or sexual anarchy.

Squatting sign
The Squatting sign is used by squatters all over the world. Sometimes as a graffiti, often on the walls of the occupied building. But it is also used in the graphic design of posters and flyers. The sign might have originated in the squatters scene in Amsterdam (The Netherlands) in the late seventies.

It looks like a variant of the 'squatting sign'.

I stand corrected. According to Wiki, it's a variation on a "squatter's symbol".

good question on the 'N'...it seems to be a hybrid of the male [arrow thru head] and female [stickbody that makes a skirt] science symbols...

whether its 'N', or appears more of a 'Z' in the other one Im not sure, maybe the center section is just a squiggly to 'link' em...???

try searchin for queer/sexchangy orgs...dude looks kinda sweet from my puter...

side not, whats the boxed 'E' ???
