Taken for 'The Sunday Challenge': "un-noticed detail"

Never noticed these characters on these manhole covers before, wonder what they are/mean?

Not sure what the covers cover either, there's a lot of them down this street, maybe one per pair of houses.

These signs are the signature of the maker, I guess; excellent details in every day objects!

It is a mystery but great details of the covers. Is impressive seen large. if as Fraggs suggests, a secret code for secret agents, your assignment if you accept is to track down what theses all about! Nice work stoker! :)

I did wonder, but it would have to be very stylised, and I can't see a match for some of the characters . . .

Update, I've now seen quite a lot more of this style of covers around, and the appear to have the name of the company the uses the manholes where these symbols are and if you look at the main image a name has been removed in the bottom left and top right. So I guess this is likely to be a company name in Arabic.
