That looks like another Resident located near you. Did you view that from the Map in world?

This is a hat symbol (^) and a down carrot symbol (v) on top of each other.  It means that you have somebody above you and somebody below you, at the same x,y coordinates.  In other words, these two people are at the same location on the 2D map, but different elevations, with one above, and one below you.

Ugh, how have I never noticed that the up and down arrows were elevation indicators?  🤯

I admit I have not.  Having just looked at some screenshots it bears a lot of resemblance to a really old (MS-DOS old) turn-based strategy game called Battle Bugs featuring insects fighting campaigns on kitchen worktops with "Take and Hold" style missions where the objective was a sandwich or such like.  I loved that game back in the day, I may have to give Warbugs a try!

Oh the Warbugs I was thinking of is a game where you fly little planes and shoot each other down. It's free and happens at Warbugs HQ region (along with The Black Forest's store) https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/WarBug HQ/182/192/21 and anyway you use the little icons on the mini map a lot to find each other since it's pretty key to know if someone is higher or lower than you.

Thanks, didn't know this was a thing.
