There was an earlier question about Tolkien's symbol. Now, I'd like to know about Gandalf's symbol that appears in the letter he left for the hobbits in the chapter entitled "Strider."

It's a straight vertical line, with two separate branches sticking out to the right plus four dots, one on each side--top, bottom, right, and left. Look in the chapter to see it. Is this an Elvish letter? I think so, but would appreciate some help.
