You're right that it can be confusing. The function symbols() does do basically what you said, and it's the function we generally recommend using.
The reason there is also Symbol() is because Symbol is the class for symbol objects, and you can create symbol objects directly with the class constructor. But you only ever need to use the class name Symbol if you're doing something that requires the class, like isinstance().
