Journal fragment with unfamiliar symbol

The following journal scrap was found in some of the belongings stolen from travelers to Greypeak Settlement.  It appeared to be written on much finer paper than most letters and notes, and may have been torn from a book or tome, rather than simply inscribed on a scrap of loose paper.  The symbol added below the text was not familiar to the group.

Berty and Bart (journal entries)

Some of the following scraps were recovered during the team's encounter with Berty and Bart in the southern woods during a trip to recover religious icons.  During an encounter with a large spider, Bart set off numerous explosives, which appear to have led to the pair's demise.

The first 4 of these notes were signed with the letter B, each written with an overdone flourish, obviously referencing the authors who took the time to add their name and self-proclaimed title to the introductory line of every note they wrote.  The final note appeared to be in a different handwriting altogether, and was unsigned.
