I only found the 7/14 symbol do you know the name of the other one?

As I haven't tried the box yet, I tested it in the attached example.

I'm not sure whether it is because of it was intented that way or just 
by happy accident. ;-) 

--------------netlist PCB-------------
unnamed_net3    R1-2 U1-14 
unnamed_net2    U1-1 U1-9 
Vcc     R1-1 C1-2 U1-14 U1-2 U1-5 
GND     C1-1 U1-3 U1-7 U1-6 
unnamed_net1    U1-8 U1-4

Note: U1-14 is connected to the R1-2, not to Vcc.
