There's a diagram of all the symbols on Wikipedia. (You'll have to go there and look up "Stargate (device)", since UBB is malprogrammed.) Number 19 is apparently the point of origin.
In fact, here's a link to the image of that symbol itself.

No, remember that the gate address is first based on constellation-type symbols to identify the location of the address. Plus, the point of origin symbol is unique to each gate, right? So the Atlantis POI symbol would not be on any other gate.

True. I actually did a bit of searching on wikipedia... supposedly ALL the constellations on the Atlantis gate are new - although I think they might look new it's just that they are drawn on differently... there is definately still a 'point' version of the '�'.
Supposedly it makes more sense if EVERY gate had new symbols to correspond with constellations seen from THAT planet. Of course that would have cost too much money so they didn't do it.
