Is it German? I didn't know that. That's the symbol I've used all my life
(I'm Swedish). Thought it was at least European standard (IEC) or
something.


You're correct, it's an international standard, not restricted to Germany; box
resistors are the standard symbol in the UK too.

Actually we used both the symbols at school (many years ago…), but for different purposes. We used the –––/\/\/\/––– symbol when drawing a ”beräkningsschema”… sorry, I don't have a clue what that is in English, but perhaps something like ”schematics for calculations” or something like that? I don't know why we use different symbols in different situations though.
