Yes, I can understand that having to browse through the whole of OED to find out
where e.g. the hypolemniscus is being used sounds a little bit, uhm, tedious...
One can quickly search for these symbols in the OED web edition.
That is actually what the page I cited is for, to give names of the symbols which allow the symbol to be searched for in the text by including that name between # signs in the search string.
But to do this, one needs to have paid $550 US for a yearly subscription to the service. :-(
Perhaps some user of this list has such a subscription or has access to the site through an institution that has such a subscription and could help Asmus out by looking up the OED use of these symbols or its citations of sources in which the symbols occur.
