x alias (the other one)

I'd say:
Cases like @ (symbol) (and here with x) are literally the symbol and should have a tag.

Cases like chevron and asterisk (and technically also applies to x) are the names of symbols and so should have a tag. The Delta Rune is presumably the name of the symbol itself. The star symbol may represent actual stars, but (like the heart) has transcended that and become the name for the symbol in its own right and you'd call it "a star", "star-shaped", etc.

The batman symbol is a symbol that represents batman, but the symbol itself isn't a batman. I'd argue mickey mouse (symbol) should be mickey mouse symbol too.
