I do the same. I don't think there's a particular specification for what 
symbols to use for what purpose, other than that some other apps (Twitter, 
Microsoft Teams, etc) have particular meanings for @ and # tags.

My tags are:
@context
?person's name (especially if I've delegated something to them or it's a 
note of the person I need to call)
&Role
+Project Name

I find those tags are quite useful if I'm searching for a keyword and I 
need to filter down the list of search results (eg if I only want to find 
the branch of tasks under a particular +Project, rather than other notes 
which just happen to refer to the project name).
