Don't know about that symbol but there is an interesting essay in the
Getty Cyberspace/Public Space Forum called "Electronic Curbcuts" about
the benefits to everyone of providing equitable access to people with
disabilities: http://www.ahip.getty.edu/cyberpub/


And this announcement this came to me today:

Spawned off the Plaintalk-Talk mailing list
<[log in to unmask]>, the Disabled-Talk mailing list
<[log in to unmask]> is a new forum intended to share
ideas about and introduce the wide variety of ways the Macintosh can be
used to help people overcome their disabilities.

Examples include using CloseView and Plaintalk to help the
visually-impaired navigate their applications, using AppleScript to
automate daily or complicated tasks, as well as using the Macintosh as
the center of a completely customizable "Smart Home" or "Smart Office".

This list will also provide a channel to potential customers for
commercial suppliers of software and hardware for the disabled.
