I don't think anyone is confused that the origin is swedish road signs. to quote from the article:

"I was just not sure what a ‘feature’ looked like … so I was thumbing through a symbol dictionary and I came across this symbol (⌘). In the back of the book, it said it was for an ‘interesting feature’ at Swedish campgrounds. I thought it was maybe a little abstract, but it worked."

The original title of this submission was something like "Why is the Apple symbol seen on Swedish road signs?" It was clearly renamed and now my comment makes no sense.

It was: What is the Apple ⌘ symbol doing on hundreds of road signs in Sweden?
