@CrazyJugglerDrummer The first is the chaos symbol from the [planechase dice](http://www.wizards.com/magic/magazine/article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/feature/51), and the half-mana symbols were on some Unhinged cards - [Little Girl](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=74257) and [Mons's Goblin Waiters](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=73957).

I voted to close this question because the link appears to be dead, and the question makes no sense without it.

**They are old versions of the tap symbol.**

As it is explained in [this article posted on Daily MTG](http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtgcom/arcana/604), the symbol with the T is the tap symbol from Revised through Fallen Empires and the one with the rectangle is the tap symbol from 4th Edition through Scourge.

The article includes an image with old versions of [Royal Assassin](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=%2b%5bRoyal%20Assassin%5d) making it pretty intuitive that they're tap symbols:
