Do you have any reference as to the modernity of this V-like notation ?
I made some investigations, when you asked about references and I found, that V and inverted V symbols are not common, they are probably typicaly polish :-). WHat is more there are more different conventions for those symbols :-(
These V-shape symbols are certainly not just polish. I learned them in both high school (1980s) and university (1990s), in Germany.
I learned them in high school, and they are still used in Poland, but at the University all used A,E. What is interesting I haven't found those V-like symobls in Comprehensive LaTeX Symbols List (that's strange, isn't it?).
Probably they are used only in Europe.
These can probably be used as glyph variants, i.e., by selecting a US vs. European font (or whatever is the distinction).
No, they cannot be glyph variants. There is very big different in usage. Those A,E shapes are _linear_ in form, the V-like symbols ARE NOT. The condition after A,E symbol is written AFTER the symbols and in the V standard the condition is usually written _UNDER_ the symbol.
